BCCI In Record Jump! -

BCCI In Record Jump! - The Berg Consumer Confidence Index jumped a record 60 points today, on the news that the economy is growing at a 7% annual rate, and the acquisition of a three-month-to-open-ended consulting contract with a possible permanent hire option.

"This may be the best news we've gotten all year", says Mitch Berg, chairman of the eponymous index.

While experts caution against irrational exuberance, the mood on Minnehaha Avenue has improved considerably over the gloom-and-doom at the bottom of the BCCI's crash, last April.

Experts familiar with the BCCI say that while the US economy stands to grow 7% this year, the Berg Family economy should experience a roughly 180% growth as compared with the first quarter of 2003.

"This is great news, not only for the nation, but for the Berg kids", said Schlomo Goldstein, analyst for "BCCI Industries", a Wall Street firm specializing in BCCI analysis. "While we need to keep our eye on things, this is definitely a good day".
