They moved it off the 80 without a problem.....and all it took were the comments I heard.

When I heard the first.....I shook my head "this is most bazaar" comments to the effect, they are drawing a line in the sand and are going to hold it "indefinitely" to give a sense to the listener.... "this is it, I can now make business decisions".....it went from 79 to 85 subsequent those comments. Then I heard similar comments 2 weeks later....only raising the bar.... but we can hold the line.

Thing is, these goals of holding indefinite lines are being set in a slow climate....These goal numbers, not to long ago, would have been considered extremely high in a productive climate.

They're trying to acclimate us to the new norm.....while our wallets stagnate.

Who's going to win this tug of war?
