Woohoo. Great headline for Obama! Faster paced growth! Wow...we hit 1%. Amazing results. Never seen before!
From the article -
The changes to fourth-quarter growth largely reflected how unsold goods are valued. In inflation-adjusted terms, there was more inventory accumulation than previously estimated as underlying price data were revised up.
Sounds to me that companies are having increased inventories because they are not selling stuff.
How can that be a good thing?
