If you're betting the economy will recover in the second half of this year and should be buying stocks now in anticipation, economist Gary Shilling, president of A. Gary Shilling & Co., isn't your guy. Shilling -- author of the popular INSIGHT newsletter -- says the recession will run for the duration of this year and stands by a forecast for the S&P 500 to hit 600 in 2009.

A recovery isn't likely until 2010 -- at the earliest -- says Shilling, who is effectively doubling-down on his 2008 predictions, which proved eerily prescient.

Shilling is bullish on the dollar and cautiously optimistic about high-grade corporate debt, but doesn't see much to be hopeful about from the long side in 2009.
