I noticed the oddity when I posted the new numbers for the first three months. I wanted the same format from the month prior. I noticed the numbers didn't match up. I didn't say anything, because I was unfamiliar with changes that take place there.
Here are the original numbers I posted:
Month--------------------------Feb-------------Jan
Japan--------------------------702.0-----------701.0
Mainland China----------------196.5-----------195.2
United Kingdom---------------171.0-----------160.7
Caribbean Banking Centers----103.6------------92.6
France-------------------------15.2-------------9.2
Grand Totals------------------1995.8----------1957.8
Here are the numbers I posted on 5/16 that just adds March:
Month----------------------Mar-----Feb-----Jan
Japan------------------------679.5---680.3---679.3
Mainland China--------------223.5---224.9---223.5
United Kingdom-------------122.9---110.7---100.3
Caribbean Banking Centers--137.2---104.7----94.2
France-----------------------25.1----27.2----21.2
Grand Totals--------------1977.1--1945.7--1908.1
If you compare Feb with Feb, Japan is down almost $22 Billion, Mainland China up almost $28 Billion, The UK down almost $60 Billion, Caribbean almost the same, and France up $12 Billion. That is a total "slop" of $122 billion in one month's time. Kirby is appalled and doesn't see how we can base investment decisions on this kind of information. I don't either.
