Retail Sales statistics for the month of February were released this morning, and they are down only 0.1%. Just as important, the January number was revised up (1.8% growth from the original 1.0% growth). Some sectors were better than others, and car sales were among the worst.
This relatively stable statistic--still subject to revision of course--suggests that some of the fear we saw in the last few months of 2008 may be starting to subside.
