Conference Board: LEI up 0.2% vs forecast 0.1%

By Corbett B. Daly

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The U.S. index of leading economic indicators rose for the first time in six months, the Conference Board said Monday. The 0.2 percent increase was slightly faster than expected. Economists polled by CBS MarketWatch had predicted the LEI would rise 0.1 percent in the month. "Although the LEI has declined for nearly half the year, the declines were relatively modest," said Ken Goldstein, economist for the Conference Board. "Even if economic performance early in 2005 proves sluggish, conditions could brighten by spring," Goldstein added. The coincident index rose 0.1 percent in November.

Monday, December 20, UCAN's official average for a gallon of self-serve regular is $2.18 in San Diego County.

Yes folks, that's TWO DOLLARS-and-EIGHTEEN CENTS.

That is "down" from summer but still a repulsive and inexplicable obscenity.

What is the price of unleaded gas in your parts of S. California?

You poor souls. ;)

Down here in San Diego we broke $2.38 per gallon for the low-end grade back in May.

I'm not *sure* that's our high for the year.
