"I believe preliminary GDP figures for first Q should be out by the end of the week, we'll see what they show (though the preliminaries are never very accurate)."

LOL - you mean the "pro-forma" version, the first report. Yes, it will probably come in around 1-2%, perhaps better than that if massaged enough. But the strength of the quarter was in the first two months, and every one I talk with indicates that the bottom fell out starting in March. That is why I think we probably entered negative growth last month.
