Hi Dave. Just a comment on the slide for manufacturer's new orders. It said there that a slowdown in deliveries generally equates a pick up in economic activity. shouldn't it be the other way around. Like more deliveries should equate to a pick up in economic activity? just checking with you... btw, your videos are the best! keep up the good work!

Hi, I think here we are referring to the speed of delivery times and not the actual number of deliveries. The idea here is that when economic activity picks up it takes some time for the delivery companies to add the necessary capacity to ship new orders, so delivery times slow as all the new orders clog up the existing infrastructure. Let me know if I am mistaken there. Best Regards, Dave

btw, yesterday and today i have learned once more how important a stop loos limit would be in commodities trading :o). i hope, i will remeber that market 'lesson' longer than the last one (it was august 07 for me).

gute nacht david,

hi david,

i'm trying to watch all your videos (and learn more about financial markets), but instead of reducing the number of unwatched videos, this number is still increasing ... but i will keep trying ;-)

best greetings from munich/germany,
