“less than expected”

Consumers are just not buying as much.

Because of the tenuous job situation, the ever worsening economy, consumers are saving more and spending less.

This situation will continue until we see some real job creation and robust economic growth and that is not going to happen until dems are defeated en masse in November.

If and when that happens, then you may see consumer confidence begin to return to previous levels.

"far less than expected"

But is it unprecedented?

Perhaps with all the hoopla and criticism of the overuse of “unexpected”, “Less than Expected” is the new mantra.../s

[Leisler]

I don’t think the poster should be able to reply “unexpectedly”.

It’s not fair.

[ilovesarah2012]

Is anything ever expected? You have to wonder about the so-called “experts”.

[DustyMoment]

Unexpected??

“Inconceivable!!”

[Rational Thought]

This economy is owned by this administration. More evidence they don’t have a clue.

[COBOL2Java]

Breaking news! There has been an unexpected jump in inflation!

No, not in the economy...there's been an inflation in the media's use of the word "unexpected".

[Ev Reeman]

Because of this terrible national economy, consumers will only spend money as needed and as situations arise.

Of course, consumers will still spend money on the essentials such as paying on their mortgages, for food, etc.

But consumers will not buy new clothing but wear old stuff in their closets rather than buy new, they will drive their old cars and not buy new; consumers will look for many ways to save as much money as possible in this economic depression.

Well, at least these MSM airheads know what to write in advance.

Now, if we could just get them to "expect" the obvious...

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast orders increasing 2.8 percent

In other words, analysts at Reuters forecasted sales to be TEN TIMES higher than they actually were.

I think they need new forecasters.

Even the extremely modest gain was due to airlines upping their orders on planes. No relations to the ordinary consumers.

[jersey117]

The reaction to this news was swift. Futures have dipped below the 10,000 mark.

[Nervous Tick]

You know the drill...

"Far less than expected..."

Wow, that was an Unexpected phrase that happened unexpectedly
