I guess what I’d like to know is, what weight is the card stock used in Hallmark or American Greeting cards? I’ve purchased some packages labeled card stock and they are barely heavier than 24 pound typing paper. I’d like something heavier. Thanks for your help!

How often does a correction in the stock market turn into a full-blown recession?

Matt Humberto asked:


I’m interested in “leveraged indexes” (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I’m twice as in trouble as I’d normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early “warning signs” to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!

Correction: By “recession” I meant a bear market. Sorry for the confusion of terms.
