Also note less workers in the tightest labor market doesn't matter either. I guess the Fed will import workers or else allow cloning after all to ease labor shortage. Weekly Jobless Claims = -3k to 287k dol.gov In the week ending Nov. 13, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 287,000, a decrease of 3,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 290,000. The 4-week moving average was 287,000, a decrease of 1,250 from the previous week's revised average of 288,250. Good Luck, I am off to work, Lee

<<U.S. Sept oil import price $19.52/bbl, highest since Feb'97 ($20.48)>> What is this? I thought crude was $23+ for the entire month of September. Crude is higher than 97, any idea what gives?

Lee, The TRADE deficit is not improving regardless how they spin the numbers. If the TRADE deficit does not improve down the road then it will eventually catchup down the road. On a issue of seasonality, imports should drop for the month of FEB since many of the factories overseas close down for the lunar new year, and its not a one day affair over there. Still checked with my old contacts in the steamship biz and still no concrete signs of strong improvements in exports. It is improving, but only a little. seeya
