>> What % of the 'real' goods consumed are imported? ouch

Longer term, great for our manufacturing and jobs picture!<<

That's my honest expectation and hope. US has more than just credit to export.

"The US orders for long-term (>3yrs) goods are down more than expected by 1.5%" - I guess that's month to month. Oh well... Hey, manufacturing, wake up. Please.

It's not 6 months, but the 20c move from the Y2K low of 39c to the NZ$ to the current 54c to the NZ$ is a 50% move from 39c.

That's a big move in anyone's book. Whether it's 6 months or two years doesn't make a big difference.

The point is that somebody earning NZ$10 an hour has had a 50% pay increase over 2 years. That's not bad going. It makes cdma2000 phones more affordable. It'll boost QUALCOMM sales.
