Dean Carroll- In re: "inflection point".... It would seem, from what I can glean, that the Wall Street usage of this term con- notes nothing more or less than its ordinary denotative sense. That is to say, with reference to the ancient tomes, we have the Latin inflectere meaning to bend; to curve; to change. As you know, our own English word flexible is derived from the root of inflecto,-ere. More specifically, Noah Webster defines inflection point (with first usage noted circa A.D. 1721) as "a point on a curve that separates an arc concave upward from one concave downward and vice versa. Postscriptum: Having posted this, I find that this subject has already undergone exhaustive review. Therefore, please pardon the redundancy.
