Any company doing $7 billion Q1 is really happy $7 billion in 1q sales looks great to me

the problem with journalists and media in general is it compares data to same period a year ago

well, that period has no relevance…you may as well compare to 10 years ago

but media being what it is (lazy) it compares to a year ago

ditto for home sales

vs. the average sales for past 30 years adjusted for inflation is way more meaningful than same period last year (which may be an aberration)
