http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/NRIPDC96/112 Note that the investment statistic I used includes private investment (to economists, investment means spending money on durable goods and longer-term projects that are expected to create improvements in the future, as opposed to the way the term is used by people managing savings portfolios). I expect the NIPA guide could tell you exactly what is included, if you are interested in finding more details: http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/an/nipaguid.pdf -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
