scott..here's a post worth reading....numbers can be tricky To:slacker711 who wrote (114929) From: Jon Koplik Saturday, Mar 2, 2002 1:58 PM View Replies (3) \| Respond to of 114934 Re : "What numbers / need / believe / economy / rebounding ?" What everyone keeps missing is : "Rebounding" from what level to what level ? I just read that the help wanted index rose from 46 to 47. One year ago, it was 77. Similarly -- durable goods orders (as I posted once before) are running roughly 25% lower than the level they were consistently at during the time period around 1999 - 2000. If some index goes from 100 down to 10, a 100% increase from 10 only gets you back to 20. Everyone seems to be conveniently forgetting this, lately. (I know most things have not dropped 90%; but -- you get the point ...) Jon.
