Hi,<br />Thank you for your work.<br />I would like to know your opinion about the following sentence:<br /><br />This survey was conducted during the Great Recession with highly volatile and quickly declining investment values (Smeeding, 2012), compared to five years ago (2003, relatively better times).<br /><br />What I meant " five years ago" is the time when I stand at the time of survey year talking about five years ago. <br /><br />how to express clearly?<br /><br />P.S Great Recession is a term specifically referred to the time period from 2000-2009.
