Here's the raw report. You can probably find some articles outlining where exactly growth occurred.[/QUOTE]

Well that's interesting.

I honestly have not seen such wages outside of highly specific stores (ALDIs), so I wonder up to what step of management is grouped into those calculations.

And when he addresses this there is no doubt it will be passed off as someone else's mistake
How anyone can still stand behind this twat is beyond me

Also, hasn't it been a total loss for the Dow, we had one rally and then it fell again.

I mean, if you want to look at the Dow's growth on a timescale of the past month or two.

If you look at it as the past year, it's up 19%. If you look at it as the past two years it's up around 51%. If you look at it as the past five years, it's up 73%. Past ten years, it's up 73% too (thanks recession).

tl;dr don't look at or invest based on short term market trends.

Invest with a long term view and it's hard to lose money.
