There's a statistic which is a bold indicator of good economic times in Germany, but most folks have no appreciation for it. It's tractor trailer rig sales. If you went to a small operation and asked the operations guy how to tell if business is improving....he'd eventually say something to the effect that everyone wants to trade in their rigs and get new trucks.
A Bloomberg Report note came out today.....for the month of August....there was a 54 percent increase in big truck sales.....up to 3,812 units last month.
Course, it's not yet the best moment to admit the German economy is in full bloom....but there sure are some positive indicators to say that.
People get this way because they can sense a change and they've got contracts in their hand which look awful positive over the next twelve months.
