Shock, Annualized

Now, the really shocking stuff is doesn't show up until you look at the "Seasonally adjust annual rate for the 3-months ended December 2007." This is where you find why Gold is going through the roof and the dollar collapsing to within a few pennies of its all time lows. Remember, these are 3-month annualize rates:



Finished Goods: +13.3%

Finished consumer foods +9.4%

Finished energy goods: +51.9%

---

Intermediate materials supplies & components: +15.0%

Intermediate food & feeds: +19.2%

Intermediate energy goods: +55.3%

Materials for non-durables: +20.3%

Think those are scary? Look at the head of the supply chain!



Crude materials for further processing: +59.6%

Foodstuffs and feedstuffs +19.2%

Crude energy materials +129.5%
