Economic growth has surpassed virtually everyone's expectations, ... hanging your hat on one number is a little misleading. We'll have to have more numbers to get a better idea of what the Fed might do.

Statistics can be misleading. The only stat that counts is the score at the end of the game.

They allow you the wide shots so the shots are very misleading (shots on goal statistics). It's hard to find a way to get the puck to the middle.

Those who say there's no problem and there's plenty of time are offering a misleading argument that the Social Security Trust Fund somehow has assets that can be used to draw upon starting in 12 years to pay benefits, but the trust fund does not contain cash or bonds or stocks to turn into funds. It contains IOUs reflecting the rate of the trust fund over the last few decades.

What they reported this morning beat my expectations, but it's hard to overlook the slowing customer growth.

After those several years of great growth, people's expectations have been very high - probably too high. And at the first sign of a slowdown they react they other way.
