Is the ECRI government sponsored? Is that our tax dollars hard at work? :^( Edit--- I just did a search, ECRI is a private institute

The problem with ECRI is, they use models that only go back to the last recession or two, back maybe 40 years. It's the same mistake all of the so-called experts have made over the last couple of years. None of these so-called experts have a clue as to what's going on, because we're in uncharted water. Their old ways of looking at things will not work. They fail to see that the world has changed, and their old textbook models are destined to fail. All in my opinion.

US BOFN <g> good one! Ramp the market on the false numbers, take it down on the revisions. IMO, these numbers should not even be released until they have the correct figures, releasing the BS ones is just another form of market manipulation. And it's amazing how the "good" numbers -- which are later revised down, always seem to be come out when the market is on the edge of the cliff. The huge short squeeze on 3/1 comes immdiately to mind, and that number was later revised down in a huge way. After it saved the nas from collapse for a few days and fried the shorts of course <g> I, for one was glad to see the "good" number releases the past few weeks shrugged off and sold into. Even JP6 is wising up.
