i know down is worse than up but this number under the current circumstances seems ok to me. Certainly doesnt indicate severe recession in the offing. This could be merely a result of inventory adjustment. Seems we are adding a non-performing quarter(next years first) into this year and then dividing by 5. Its the lost quarter from hell, but might only turn out to be a blip.
