Anne Motsenbocker, president of the Dallas region of JPMorgan Chase Bank, spoke to a room full of business-types and made the above prediction. More precisely, she said she thinks it will be 2013 before the national economy could be described as “robust.” Motsenbocker (try to type that quickly) made that statement as speaker at this morning’s CEO Netweavers Leadership Breakfast at the Park City Club. Being a hard-core investigative blogger, I of course immediately rushed back to my office to ask the Online Magic 8 Ball if she is right. It told me to “Please ask again.” I asked again, and it said, “Signs point to yes.” So, there you have it.
UPDATE: I just asked the Magic 8 Ball the same question and this time it said “Maybe.” I’m starting to question the reliability of this thing.
