ABSTRACT
The article reports on the lack of a clear outlook for both the U.S. and world economies as of March 2012. The Conference Board economist Ken Goldstein stated that a deep recession in Europe could easily derail the outlook for the U.S. economy. Goldstein also warned against relying on the positive leading economic index trend line, which could lead into greater economic uncertainty.
