While
we have had a streak of good results, these numbers are just making a
good dent in all that was lost since 2007. For the first two months of
2012, orders were down in dollars still some 15 percent from the first
two months of 2006 (price increases not considered). But the good news
is that we do appear to be recovering.
The consumers also
appear to be coming back after this long recession. We do not expect to
gain it all back at once, but we are at least seeing some really
positive results for an extended period.
Let's hope the enthusiasm from Market continues.
