A More Positive Outlook

by David Hachmeister

Thanks again for your support! We have appreciated your visiting with us.

This month we discovered a small but significant statistical quirk (mistake) in our formula. The statistics shown here are revised to reflect the more accurate sales numbers. Even though this past December was down about 5 percent, it turns out the previous five months were all up from their like months from one year prior!

Sometimes good news remains hidden for a while, but it is even more appreciated when it is revealed.

	October	November	December
Average monthly sales	21,903	21,211	17,012
Percent change from previous month	-0.92	-3.26	-24.68
Percent change from same month of previous year	0.49	4.99	-4.99
