As usual the headline ordsprog

As usual, the headline number hides the true facts. Outside energy, there was little relief for the already burdened consumer.

Today's numbers show that consumers are not very optimistic about the economy. As a result, we will see consumer spending reduced until we see some relief on energy prices. If we don't get some relief, it looks like it will be a very weak holiday season.

The headline number was weaker than what people expected. But when you look down into the underlying details, it's not as weak as what that headline number would suggest.

We expect markets to focus, as usual, on headline hiring and the jobless rate. Whether these figures should be judged according to the usual principles is less clear, however.

Taxpayers need relief, ... Consumer confidence is down, energy prices are up, and economic growth is stagnant. The economy needs a boost, and this tax relief will provide that boost.

I think the headline number is a bit misleading. It doesn't suggest that the economy is in trouble. Consumer durables production is looking solid, so it's looking like there's still going to be strong first quarter GDP growth.

There's an unbelievable number of reports coming out, any number of which could move us one way or the other, ... If we have a blowup in the jobless claims, and it goes above 400,000, if the consumer sentiment number doesn't confirm today's consumer confidence number, you could see some selling.

Truths emerge from facts, but they dip forward into facts again and add to them; which facts again create or reveal new truth (the word is indifferent) and so on indefinitely. The 'facts' themselves meanwhile are not true. They simply are. Truth is the function of the beliefs that start and terminate among them.

If you want to know how much more it costs you to live this year than last year, look at the headline CPI. And from a consumer's perspective, there's nothing good about a 4.7 percent increase in headline inflation in 12 months.

Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world. The headline number was much higher than anticipated. However, if you strip out the transport component, the number was a little soft. This number is notoriously volatile.

The market may be a little disappointed by the 2007 number. The headline number looks okay, but I would point out some quality issues as there are a high number of exceptional items.

You are gambling on tax advantages being present in 20 years when you are ready to withdraw from the contract and I'm not convinced that's going to be true, ... I think that the consumer is generally unaware of certain material facts, particularly the tax risk and compensation issues.

Energy costs, which act as a tax on consumer budgets, are taking a smaller bite out of consumer pocketbooks. There is, therefore, more money available to spend on other (non-energy) things.

The Labor Department also noted that for 2005 consumer prices overall rose by the largest rate in five years, partly because of spiraling interest rates and energy prices. The CPI was up by 3.4% for the 12 months ending in December. However, taking out core numbers from food and energy, the number was up only 2.2%.
