...Industrial production for November - the egg to business inventories' chicken - suggested a bit of both. The cause for disappointment was that output at factories, mines and utilities fell 0.3 percent, the 13th decline in the past 14 months and another sad chapter in a trend; industrial production peaked in June of 2000 and has since fallen by 6.8 percent, the biggest decline since the 1981-82 recession...
