The management of Data Stats believes that its relationship with its clients and visitors is far too important to have their unique profiles be treated as a commodity or revenue source. Furthermore, management firmly believes that information collected for one purpose should not be used for other purposes without the consent of the subject of that information. Data Stats will not sell, trade, or otherwise give away individual customer or visitor information, gained through our normal business operations, to third parties. Nor will we engage in what we consider to be "intrusive" profiling unrelated to our business. Data Stats does collect and maintain profile databases of customers and visitors to its web site. These databases are not visitor specific. The purpose of these databases is to help improve Data Stats' operation and offer better service to our clients. Data Stats pledges to protect the confidentiality of this information. If you believe that we have violated the trust you have placed with us, please contact me immediately at the above address or email me at: Raymond D. Matkowsky Chief Executive Officer |

I have felt for a long time that the various bureaus of governments offer misleading information as to the state of their economies. I cannot understand the need to "seasonally" adjust data except for purely political benefits. We decided to compare "seasonally" adjusted data with straight forward unadjusted data. We conducted our study for the last nine years. We were originally going to do ten but we did not have a complete set of quarterly GDP data for the ten years. In addition, the The Bureau of Economic Analysis has changed their methodolgy over the years. Therefore, we decided to use the data as originally published in our comparisons. The results is the subject of this month's Small Business Management article. This month's Guest Article was written by Gary D. Halbert of Halbert Wealth Management, Inc. and is reprinted from his weekly E-Letter. I disagree with Mr. Halbert's position on many subjects. However, I am in total agreement with his November 13, 2018 E-Letter. Debt whether it is personal or public will bring down everything we desire. No, I don't believe there is any "good debt." All debt, except in extreme situations, needs to be avoided. Mr. Halbert feels so strongly about this, he has given permission to all his readers to share his E-Letter widely. If you wish to subscribe to his E-Letter, you may do so here. As always, take time to read Dr. Marcia Yudkin's Marketing Minute comments. |
