Ted,
It would be interesting to see CNBC do a report on the upward revisions of the GDP and other government data. Q4 1999 was revised upward 25%. That is rather significant. It seems the headline number is always heavily reported, while the revised numbers are ignored. As the revised numbers should give a clearer picture, maybe they should be given more coverage.(Sorry, I can't get the table to line up.)
