It is unfortunate that yo missed the monalogue...it was great. Bob was upbeat in a big way on the inflation numbers. I just replayed the tape, here are some bullets of the monologue:
- He laughed at Mr. Rogers after a .1% increase in the CPI mor month of June.

-CPI in the last 12 months up 2.3%, experimental price consumption deflator lower than 2%. "This is great for the economy".

-Annualized inflation for the first 6 months of 1997 up 1.4%. Lowest since 1986 for the first half of a year.

-Allan Greenspans Humphrey Hawkins Testimony happens this week. (wednesday I think) "Dont expect anything shocking from Dr. Green shades...I don't expect he'll do anything dramatic"..

-Industrial production up 3/10 of 1% for June (3.5% annual rate), Capacity utilization steady at 83.5% and business inventories up just 3/10 of 1%. This he said is bullish since there's enough product stored and enough excess capacity for price inflation to stay tame.

-4th consececutive month CPI up 1/10 of 1%

-2.4% increase in core rate of inflation. "Do you believe this".."Thats the lowest core rate of inflation since 1965...a 32 year low". he said.

-"Hey Mr. Bowtie..Where's the beef" he said. "Where's the runaway inflation" ? "All is behaving beautifully".

He said "As far as inflation is concerned, we should have a party".

-"And yet you still have the Doom and Gloom predicted".

Hope this helps, and for those of you who have a tough time tuning in due to preempting the program and so forth...Tune into thru the internet. Go to Bob's web page which has been mentioned many a time here. There you will find the stations that broadcast over the web. I have done this and while it is not real stable, you can get the information. Good luck

Regards

Joe
