Let's see...
Today, new-home sales hit a record low...bookending the record low for existing-home sales of yesterday. Durable goods orders were much lower than the expectations of economists...
When you consider the most recent numbers on jobs and unemployment...you realize just how impressive a euphemism "Recovery Summer" really is.
"Recovery Summer"...
I guess it's on to "Recovery Fall"...
And last week they were reporting increase of existing home sales and nary a word from all mixed bag then. How is it that you guys just focus on the bad and ignore any good?
That should have read last month and not last week. And before you jump it Mixed up one,
Washington, July 23, 2009
Existing-home sales rose for the third consecutive month with inventory easing and home prices declining less sharply in June, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
FrankH-
The home sales numbers for the last two days are record lows...all-time record lows for as long as those records have been kept.
Retail sales, durable goods, job creation and employment...all of those metrics are now headed in the wrong direction, Frank.
Down...not up.
Turn on one of the financial tv channels or go to a financial website if you believe I'm misrepresenting the big picture regarding current economic trends...and give THEM a hard time.
Don't shoot the messenger.
You might even consider asking yourself WHY the message isn't better, Frank.
Two days? You want to set here and base an argument on two days of information? I showed you 3 months and you come back with that crap. I think the guys are right. You are not worth a response. See ya.
I'll probably regret this, Frank...
But the homes sales figures released this morning and yesterday are, respectively, new-home sales for the month of July, and existing-home sales for the month of July.
They do not represent two days' worth of data.
And...both sets of figures are new all-time lows.
So long, Frank
