...hear about it, while the CB's numbers are free to all. (This explains why the UM number is considered slightly more credible, though for my money the reports on consumers' emotional states have been singularly useless for most of this year.) That said, folks are expecting a slight bump...
...This could be a reasonably big deal, if anything untoward comes out. As it is, the Street?s expecting a slight trimming of inventories (good), a slightly-smaller-than-last-month decrease in production (good, I suppose) and a tiny bump in capacity utilization. That?s good too, but at the microscopic increments expected we won?t be cleaning up tickertape at the closing bell. Still, a favorable trend is better than the other kind...
...much riding on the V-Rod, the sleek, radically new bike it will unveil at this year's gathering.

The shark may see the sole of a swimmer's foot, think it's a fish and take a bite before realizing this isn't its usual prey. It swims away, leaving the bleeding victim in need of stitches. The bump-and-bite is far more serious. Last year Chuck Anderson was training for a triathlon off Gulf Shores, Ala., when he was bumped by a bull shark, testing...
