Venture capitalists can only react to the market as most other people do. They are not prescient. Most people cannot predict the twists and turns of the market from day to day or even quarter to quarter.

If they really could predict the market, they wouldn't be venture capitalists. They'd be hedge fund traders making a lot more money.

Fair enough. I encourage you to fight your fight in defining what “recession” means. Americans need accurate info.

Things that are widely accepted are often also wrong — and in any case, the NBER doesn't officially declare a recession until it has at least six months of data. And the NBER was using that description I gave long before Bush came along. Just FYI.
