Hiding Bear Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Welcome to B4 The Bell! After being told by many economists last spring that higher oil prices won't dent the economy, well some of these same economists are changing their tune.? Still most are quite optimistic, despite many signs of a slowdown: Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Higher energy prices are prompting economists to reduce U.S. growth forecasts for the third and fourth quarters of 2004, a monthly Bloomberg News survey showed. The world's largest economy will grow at a 3.7 percent annual rate from July through September, slower than the 3.9 percent estimated last month, according to the median of 61 forecasts. Economists have slashed a half percentage point from third-quarter forecasts over the past two months. ``We're already seeing the adverse impact of higher oil prices,'' said Kathleen Camilli, founder of Camilli Economics LLC in New York, in an interview. Economists are ``surprised by how much higher oil prices impacted consumer psychology and subsequently consumer spending.'' http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=1...efer=news_index Good trading!

DrStool Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hurricane Ivan If you, you are in southern Florida, for God's sake, make preparations to leave now, and if the storm track does not change, you should leave no later than 48 hours before the storm is forecast to hit. I have started a thread at the above link for stoolies to share information, requests, and offers of assistance. If the storm continues on the forecast track at this level of intensity, it will be the greatest catastrophe to ever hit the US. God bless all Floridians. We have to hope that something happens that will cause this storm to dissipate before it hits anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Pathmark (PTMK) reports ($0.05) missing by $0.09 lowers Y04 guidance by 50% Same store sales 1.3% revenues rose 1.6% year/year to $1.01b "Earnings were negatively affected by incremental costs associated with increased promotional spending as well as continued gross profit pressures from inflation in certain categories" "... cites higher medical expenses and a weakening in consumer demand.." When supermarkets are warning and have negative (inflation adjusted) sales a recession has taken firm roots. I don't think these issues are unique to PMTK as Albertsons has been saying the same things for 6mos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumRush Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Guy in the pit on Crapvision says dollar recovered yesterday and so expects equities up- what planet is he on?
