My concern is that ordsprog

My concern is that inventories are so low, some businesses will actually miss sales through stock-outs.

On balance, I think it's the latter. In most businesses, inventories are in line with sales expectations.

Concern over weaker consumer confidence and industrial production outweighed the pick-up in retail sales and business inventories causing interest rates to decline even further this week, ... Adding to the decline was a flight-to-quality in the bond market from nervous investors worried about falling stock prices and the possibility of war in the Middle East.

We know inventories are probably somewhere near the bottom, ... Businesses are producing [goods], trying to not only meet demand, but also to rebuild inventories.

Inventories are at rock-bottom levels -- even if economic growth slows in the fourth quarter, those inventories will have to be rebuilt, otherwise businesses risk losing business.

$11 billion of the $18 billion drop in inventories was in manufacturing, and there's an element of that which isn't a matter of U.S. factories humming along [to re-stock shelves]. In many cases, there simply isn't any U.S. factory any more, and some of this may be just a permanent reduction in inventories.

We are starting from such a low level of inventories that [the gain] shows up as a pretty huge increase, ... But if you look at the level compared to ... expected sales, inventories are still much much too low.

With these levels of inventories, we probably need to replenish inventories to a level that will support a - for lack of a better term - 'normal' level of sales,

What we want it to mean is that we want our government to be frugal and to watch the bottom line and to concern itself with its customers - in other words, taxpayers - as we imagine businesses to do, you know, that their bottom line is a concern for pleasing their customers and so that sales remain steady and rising over the years. Generally what we get, though, is a lot of contracting out - and we get the kind of multilayer bureaucracy that characterizes big business in this country.

Inventories are still lean and we'll see item-specific sales similar to last year's level. Also, there are two extra sales days during the holidays. That should help retailers.

Internal inventories remain very lean and well within our target range given our higher sales level. Our $23 million in capital spending for the quarter keeps us within our annual budget of 6 - 8% of sales.

The fact that this gain occurred in a month when sales also increased implies it was intended inventory building. If firms had wanted to cut inventories, they could have used the increase in sales as an opportunity to cut further.

Holiday sales came through in a big way late in the season. Now it remains to be seen whether sales in the coming months fall off a bit given low remaining clearance inventories for many retailers. That however, should be taken as a positive sign for the industry, not a negative one.
