Durable goods looking ugly this time around. Last month revised lower too.
Per SeekingAlpha and ZeroHedge.com
Good for them.
Didn’t they refuse the ‘easy money’ from the Henry Paulson bailouts? They deserve to do well, IMO.
thanks will fix that!!
Those guys get their durable goods orders info from the Census Bur:
| New orders for manufactured durable goods in March decreased $13.1 billion or 5.7 percent to $216.3 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today. This decrease, down two of the last three months, followed a 4.3 percent February increase. Excluding transportation, new orders decreased 1.4 percent. Excluding defense, new orders decreased 4.7 percent. |
Major stock indexes don't seem to show much reaction from traders, though there were a lot of strong earnings reports yesterday.
very interesting. And.....in March! Don’t know about most businesses, but the one I’m in, Oil & Gas, March is typically a big orders month as drilling schedule is in full play.
New TV program “Backyard Oil” http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/backyard-oil
These rural guys in Kentucky drilling. About 30% phony but still fun to watch.
I love, love, LOVE my Ford Escape!
I specificlaly researched and bought a Ford based on them NOT stealing my Tax Dollars.
SAND and SLW jumped. Hmmmm.
Right, that -5.7% was the number they got after correcting for March being a big order month. The actual (not adjusted) change was from $236B up to $245B, so the raw numbers in fact showed a 1% increase.
That's why I always like to get my numbers from the source and not let SeekingAlpha or ZeroHedge.com do my thinking for me.
