Nice thought about feeling good. Will save mine for the 'revised numbers' report.
As pre the Bureau of Economic Analysis:
" The percent change in real GDP was revised down 0.2 percentage point for 2011, was revised down 0.5 percentage point for 2012, and was revised up 0.3 percentage point for 2013.
• For 2011, the largest contributors to the downward revision to the percent change in real GDP were a downward revision to personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and an upward revision to imports.
• For 2012, the largest contributors to the downward revision were downward revisions to PCE and to state and local government spending.
• For 2013, the largest contributors to the upward revision were upward revisions to PCE and to state and local government spending; these revisions were partly offset by a downward revision to private inventory investment."
In its report following the GDP report, The Wall Street Journal said the recovery that began in 2009 was the weakest since World War II.
