some good news....

I heard someone on CNBC say that "THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT".

That usually means we just hit bottom!

We can only go up.

The point about month to month sales was that it was an UNEXPECTED increase....when you lose 600k jobs a month everyone knows ytd will be worse, but again that part was expected. To lose, what was it....1.5 million jobs over the last 4 months AND have an increase month to month? That is good news anyway you look at it.

A 7% jump may not be justified, but it is no fluke, there has to be SOME real info for a jump like that.

Month-over-month is not as good a statistic as comparing a month to the month last year. And that is still down considerably.

I do agree that media coverage is not helping. Consumer confidence is at its lowest level ever. Of course, if you got back to the previous low, the Dow rose over 40% in the next twelve months. THAT'S the type of recovery we need.

about 15% in the past few weeks is a good start.....
