Well if that makes your day it sure doesn't take much. Now read this and tell me how reliable your numbers are. It appears that even the media clowns are starting to understand the numbers are COOKED yet you persist in relying on them. They have had so many "statistical quirks" I just do not understand how you can be so gullible? Wholesale food prices rebounded in September, rising 0.4% after a 0.7% decline in August. Computer prices, meanwhile, continued to fall in September, although the rate of decline slowed. Computer prices fell 0.3% in September after a 2.2% decline in August. Prices of prescription drugs declined 0.1% after rising 0.3% in August. Automobile prices surged, pushing up the core index in September. Prices of passenger cars rose 1.4% after a 0.3% decline in August. But analysts attributed the increase largely to statistical quirk: In September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics stops measuring the prices of 2000-model cars and begins measuring prices of 2001 models. Inflation pressures intensified further up the production pipeline. Prices of crude, or unprocessed, goods rose 5.3% after a 1.5% decline in August. Prices of intermediate, or semiprocessed, goods rose 0.7% after a 0.2% decline in August. "Oh.. touched a nerve did I :-) Don't get so wound up. LOL!" Nah, clowns like you don't bother me at all. You are getting your clocks cleaned and are in complete denial. Monty
