It's The Economy Stupid: Durable Goods Orders

Durable Goods Orders:  A 4.0% increase versus economist’s estimates of 2.0%.  The prior period was revised to -1.3%.  This is a big surprise on the upside, twice the estimate.  The number reflects an increase in demand for air craft and autos which were stronger than a decrease in demand for business equipment.

 

Yesterday President Obama confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault".  However some of the American people believe that it was caused by the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.
