Cypher Page #4
You're given phoney
assignments, phoney identities.
You think your pen
is a transmitting device,
his tie clip or her watch.
The whole thing is just a ploy
to keep you all distracted,
to not realize what's really going on.
If you want answers, take the shot.
When you're inside the
room, act as you always act.
Order the mineral water. Drink it.
Don't make them suspicious.
The shot we gave you should protect you.
It should protect? What'd
you mean? What if it doesn't?
Listen to me carefully.
Whatever happens in that room,
show no reaction, no
emotion, no surprise.
No matter what you see, do not move.
What will I see?
- Who sent you?
- A friend.
I don't have any friends.
- When will I see you again?
- Soon.
I promise.
There are several points of interest
here. First of all, the fact, that
by an impressive margin,
new home purchases
took most of the brunt of that decline.
By this I mean that sales of older homes
are done on an individual basis
where there's considerably
more room for negotiation.
Therefore, in those sales
we're more likely to find
that the official rise in
mortgage rates has been offset
somewhat by the ...rates of
return on high tech investment,
which led to a surge in
business capital spending
and significantly increased the
underlying growth rate of productivity.
The capitalization of these
higher than expected returns
boosted equity prices
generally beyond even that expected
by the enhanced rise in real incomes.
vehicle sales, for example,
has put more vehicles on the road
than the industry could sustain.
the number of high tech products
was doubling or tripling annually,
in many cases new supply
was coming on ever faster.
Overall capacity in high
tech manufacturing industries
rose nearly 50 percent last year,
well in excess of its
rapid rate of increase.
Accordingly the slowdown in the economy that
began in the middle of last year intensified,
perhaps even to the point of growth
stalling out around the turn of the year.
As the economy slowed,
equity prices fell,
especially in the high tech sector,
where previous high evaluations
were being re-evaluated,
resulting in significant
losses in some investors.
Clearly some slowing in the
pace of spending was necessary,
if the economy was to progress along
balanced and sustainable growth.
With the process likely to intensify
with the rise in the cost of energy
that has strained business
and household purchasing power,
purchases of durable
goods and investment
in capital equipment
