2. Yes, February could look worse than it should because of the storms

We might have to wait until March to get a better read on things. February could be bad.

3. Bit optimistic given recent initial claims

Best I could hope for even knowing the data use different surveys is 9.5 and farnkly I expect it to stay about 9.7, but heck I was pessimistic last month too so ya' never know.

All I CAN guarantee is that unless it goes UP DU doomers will forget that the surveys are different in both scope and intent and assume it was manipulated or faked. If it does go up they will assume it is correct. Such people seek confirmation, not facts.
