RE: Q4 Sunbeam

Uh. My jaw is on the floor. I guess my excuse is that THEY -- the breezy upbeaters -- didn't tell me. But that's no excuse, really. You really mean we're in a DEFLATIONARY recovery? Oh, that doesn't sound like fun at all. This puts a whole new spin on the comments of Diane Swonk, chief economist at Bank One:   ``We are well positioned for a recovery here,'' said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Bank One in Chicago. ``We almost have to look back and call this a recession-ette, rather than a recession,'' Swonk said.     Max Sawicky wrote,   >you left out the fun part.  Nominal GDP actually fell, >but the price level went down more (3/10's%).  We're >in a deflationary recovery.  Will wonders never cease.   Tom Walker
