Hi ,

Thanks for this , this has been a great help . I found exactly what I am
looking for .
However I was wondering the following : I notice in the financial press that
with each figure there is an estimate attached :

e.g Unemployment expected 9.45 currently at 9.4 .

Does  anyone know of a reliable place to get estimates ?

Regards

Malcolm
