Well, I just learned something...(g) Vince Ferrell (CNBC commentator t'day) just stated that purchases of Gas at the Pump are calculated into "retail sales"... Anyone else surprised 'sides me re: what category gas purchases were stuck into? I've always--now it appears naively--thought retail sales comparisons were cumulative Macys, Sears, BestBuy, WallyWorld, etc., purchases. Never occurred to me that the "go juice" was also a "retail sale." Always just thought is was sales of STUFF, not commodities. hmmmm...sounds like another place for "cooking the numbers"... G_T
