Business Inventory-To-Sales Ratio Surges To Worst Since Lehman
And to complete this morning's trifecta of disappointment, Business Inventories miss (for the 8th of the last 9 months) and show no change MoM - the weakest since May 2013.

BTFD!
perhaps it's just me but there seems to be an ever increasing of "worse since Lehman" charts lately
Drinking game on! Have to take a drink for each headline on ZH with any variation of "worst since Lehman" in it.

It'll be fine. You'll see.
Just rent the extra tankers and shipping barges. I heard there were a few extra ones floating around in the marketplace.
... everything is awesome.
Or be sent to jail...
so this is good for Oligarchs...Right?
BTFWSL
Ooops, appears as though one of the other articles unleashed a BTF(whatajokewearebackinlehmanzone) moniker. I clicked on this one first as I was more drawn to seeing the ramping of the inventory/sales ratio. Not trying to steal any zingers from ZH.
to NoVa....Worst since Portsmouth last won the FA cup
Seems like everything, literally, is "worse since Lehman."
Nothing to see here, just move along....

But, but, but, I was under the impression that the west coast port problems was depleting inventories.
Im just waiting for my tax return.
Steve LIESman, what say you? "This just doesn't make any sense, the fundamentals are strong".
