  • Rate of Consumer Spending Decline Stabilizes - Overall Outlook Remains Grim
    Uhm, someone tell those people still shopping at Linens n Things that it's gonna be closed forever in less than a week.

    Just look at your first chart, I mean without October, you might have seen the leveling off in November, right? What if October said 58% expect to spend less? You could have totally missed it, but we'll never know since you either didn't do a monthly survey, or are choosing to ignore showing it.

    Paul, trying getting with the new Millenium and use a modern charting app. The 80s are calling back for their copy of MS Excel.

    Amazing how such a HUGE change in consumer sentiment, results in only a tiny percentage change in actual spending.

  • Rate of Consumer Spending Decline Stabilizes - Overall Outlook Remains Grim
    These surveys by Changewave will always be suspect as long as the charts are misleading by using an X-axis that is not consistent from one date to the next. How can one do any trend analysis when surveys are sometimes one month apart and then 3 months apart. It's nonsense.

  • Apple's New Line: Can It Make Headway in a Recession?
    The $999 Macbook is the formerly $1299 Macbook. It was the old mid-range model, not the old entry-level model that cost only $1099. In other words, this model dropped $300.

    If you think about it, if Apple had chopped $300 off the old-entry level model at $1099, that would have been the magical $799 rumor that one person was touting. BUT, Apple typically drops the lowest model, and moves everything done one notch, when intro'ing new products.
