He started with morale boosting pep rallies and marshmallow tower building competitions , and now he's moved on to a not even necessary capital raise that, while probably dilutive to current shareholders, is sure to wow the crowds with Bobby's out of the box thinking, no doubt honed during his time at Goldman Sachs.

Why the beat on the headline figure? Aside from the usual inflation nonsense, there were two other factors: Exports, which rose to 13.2% (versus earlier reported 9.2%) and Inventories, which also played a part in the apparent strength. My fishing buddy John Silvia of Wachovia put it into context: "The overwhelming story is that the export numbers have offset this domestic weakness in consumer spending and business investment. We have a domestic recession.'' Also worth noting: larger than earlier reported gains in every single government expenditure category. If you are wondering why the government does not know what it is actually spending in near real time, welcome to the club. Looking forward, I must note that Q3 does not have a stimulus package, but it *will* have a stronger dollar . . . chart via Jake from EconomPic Data > Source: GDP Second Quarter 2008 (Preliminary) Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce 8:30 A.M.
