news .. To our surprise, the market completely ignored Canada's admission to
underreporting US imports in
the month of November. If you recall, the US trade deficit widened to a
new
record in November. Such an error by Canada would mean that deficit was
much
narrower than expected. In fact the US Commerce Department said that the
Canadian error could add as much as 0.5% to US Q4 GDP, which could boost
Friday's release to 3.6%.

plan. ***

If you guys keep screwing with US economic data, the next time there's
another errant friendly-fire incident, it might happen just North of our
border...instead of in Afghanistan.
