From what I've read so far, some economists are only hinting that it may be over. Most don't want to stake their reputation on it and go on the record for such a call. Personally, I'm waiting for NBER. When they say it's over, then I'll believe it's over.

In the mean time, this exercise of calling recession "over" or "not over" has very little practical value to me anyways. I'm still taking the same basic strategy of evaluating my economic environment, one day at a time, and see what kind of opportunities I can find to move along and move ahead.
