so wait: i'm confused. much of this debate seems to turn on the question of how to develop a sense of the economy in general, and within that on the question of which indices one chooses to look at, how you weight them, etc.
anyone care to lay out the assumptions behind their views?
i have been reading the thread but am not sure i have much to say about it as i am not particularly committed to any of the ways of reading economic data that are presented here, mostly because i can't get a sense of their relative weight--only that different folk attribute different weights and on that basis refute the weightings of others.
