Yeah, no offense, but the guy who, back in2008 when we were already several months into one of the worst Recessions ever, said "There is no recession, the Bush Recovery is going strong" is probbly the last guy I would listen to.
The "skeptical side" Larry refers to, is when the WH declared a "small trade deal" a few days ago, only to have China immediately debunk that, and said they need more meetings and more agreements before even signing something small.

I would trust Chinese news sources more at this point,on whether we're reaching an agreement.
Othwerwise, I just see Kudlows statment the same as Trumps announcement of a preliminary deal a few days ago...basically "KeepingMarketUpWithRumors-icitis"
