The Math of Undertracking

I am not outright going to say you're wrong, but it does seem like you're taking some things too literally.

I also agree with those who said that a build up of stock before Christmas is not only normal but healthy.

 

NJ5 - I actually think it is important that people realize that the numbers pulished by the companies are real accuate numbers. That we cannot just decide that they are "lies" or "roundups" or "inaccurate" just because it does not fit the numbers we were tracking. I hope that at least a few people on this site will try to treat the official data with the right attitude and understand that in this world companies really can't take liberties with the truth.

The question of the stock was more around the timing. Having 2M stock build in early November does not make sense business wise. 2M in December is fine. There is a problem with the math and I pointed it out.
