I must be dumber than even I think. How do they come up with these numbers? I mean, is it just some readouts on the Clownmatic 2000? Energy is a rocket. CRB up almost 30% off the spring/summer double bottom. I honestly do not understand. The finished energy goods index fell 0.2 percent in August, after decreasing 0.7 percent in July. This slower rate of decline was primarily due to the gasoline index, which fell 2.8 percent in August following a 9.1-percent drop in the previous month. Prices for finished lubricants and home heating oil turned up, after decreasing in July. Conversely, the residential natural gas index turned down 0.3 percent, following a 6.2-percent advance in the prior month. Prices for liquefied petroleum gas also fell, after rising last month. The index for residential electric power rose less in August than in July.
