I don't think we can expect anything earth-shaking while we're waiting for the model to go bullish. I found the historical perspective useful, and I would rather that he not pretend to a level of certainty that is not implied in the indicators.

<<I know these have been difficult markets to call but I expect BB to step up to bat with conviction>> I think he's still busy licking his wounds from the last time he made a call... Seriously, I too found it pretty uninteresting. Some of the details were enlightening, but overall not all that useful on what he sees going fwd. I think I get his overall drift, but... Is he saying we are going to repeat one or not? todd BTW, I sure wish he would post the download date on the website...

Mr GJ, Re: Last week's increased retail sales data -'The devil's in the details'? <grin> I'm thinking that the headlines may have overstated the situation - somewhat - for the following reasons. Took a quick look at some of the data/reports issued. I'm wondering if the report could be overstating the April sales on the high side? For example, the Big 3 U.S. auto guys had just reported a DOWNTURN in the April sales. The government report seemed to indicate that auto sales increased ??? Faulty data ? - Or perhaps the time period used in the government report was something like Mid-March to Mid-April (rather than just all of April). Also, the government report also lowered the previously reported sales data for Feb & March - offsetting most of the so-called April increase. A significant fact not emphasized in most of the euphoric headlines. Signed, The Grinch-who-stole-the April-Retail-Sales-Increase <Bigger Grin> See-ya round the thread. Wally M.
