If buying the US$ does not work go to plan 2.
Sell YEN. (I guess that is the same thing isn't it, or is it).

At any rate damn pathetic that you can not destroy your own currency even when you try. What if they defaulted on loans would that help?

Joan:

I agree.

Also, Fred Hickey did a nice job analyzing INTC's huge increase in finished goods inventories over the past two quarters. Yet that category looks to be well down now. How can that be when the shipped products were admitted to be DOWN Q to Q? No doubt I missed something last night (it was a very long day), so I intend to review the poop today with a fresher mind.

Best, Earlie

What Ed said, plus we'll see if AMD isn't faring as poorly as INTC tonight.

Computer manufacturing is weak seasonally. The government report compensates for that by reporting seasonally adjusted numbers that are much higher. Several months earlier, they reported numbers that were below the actual dollar volume.

Overall manufacturing output dropped significantly in April, but recovered to March's level by May. Due to statistical smoothing and seasonal adjustments, it appears as a series of increases.
