o.t. What the heck is this author smoking..within two paragraphs they contradict their numbers... << In July, sales of nondurable goods such as clothing and food rose 0.4, while sales of durable goods, such as autos and furniture, fell 1.4 percent. All of the weakness in durables came from autos, however, as sales at building supply, hardware and garden stores rose 1.1 percent and sales of furniture and home furnishings rose 1.2 percent. Both sectors are heavily dependent on the housing market, which has been at historically high levels.>> Either furniture sales are included in the 1.4 percent drop (as mentioned in the first paragraph) OR they are part of the 1.2 percent increase in the second paragraph. I keep re-reading these two paragraphs and I come away with the same dribble...am I missing something here? I know locally (Austin) sales appear to be up in everything...especially homes. The values are rising between 4 and 6% a year (and in some areas, ie "North Austin", even faster.) ...but then again DELL is down here ;-) The economy just looks very strong..like you said "Hey it is not my fault if the dimwits don't get it ???<vbg>" T.R.
