His main justification: "Just about everyone I talk to in the capital markets, including erstwhile bulls, acknowledges that things are slowing down." And "everyone knows it is coming." And "everyone knows that inverted yield curves are the most reliable recession indicators."

He talks about home builders "getting crushed," which means they're trading at levels last seen in 2017. The large tech stock haircuts he refers to means most are at levels they traded at earlier this year.

I'm not saying he's wrong about a recession coming, but if you're looking for some real substance to justify that stance, you won't find it in this article. Just a guy copying Trump's tactic of saying "everyone knows" instead of offering evidence.

Agreed. Typical financial market herd psychology BS.
He also said "the worst recessions are when nobody sees them coming" and asks if a recession can happen if everyone is saying it's happening.
