john...ya want "real world" state of the economy..."ten year pricing trend reversed"

"the electrical -goods cost-variance index(cvi) decreased 0.73% in the first quarter of 1999, the first negative first quarter since 1989. the cvi reflects the movement in the relative cost of the 18 commodity groups in a typical electrical distributor's inventory.
the first quarter's overall drop is contrary to changing government economic indicators that suggest the cost of goods will be on the rise through the year. spot copper price has dropped 6.25% down to 0.6220 per pound as of 3/31/99, just two years ago copper traded at 1.1455 a pound, this in spite of demand"

the above is an industry specific report...going forward they see a 2.5% increase in cvi by year end...last inflation in prices was in 1994 (11.13%)...

imo oil will be under $14 by fall...christmas trees still turned off in the china sea...

so i open my mail...."compaq directplus....award winning solutions from compaq to help your business grow" and "ibm...web management services...custom web sites for business"....e-commerce is truly changing the way our economy functions...
