media says 'great'. they say 'look at the spending numbers'. morons! numbers were from last quarter of 2023. third quarter of 2023 people were buying before the prices went up. first quarter of 2024, people stocked up, interest rates dropping, waiting to buy big items when prices fall. the economy is slowing. will be exposed in the second quarter of 2024. will the report cause a sell off of the stock market. YES. could drop to a dow 16,000, or lower. expect a dow 8,000 by christmas 2024. only a moron would waist time listing the so called financial networks.
