I don’t have the complete numbers for February yet, but missing two or three days worth of data shouldn’t have a noticeable effect on the trends … and it is the trends that are most important to us. As you are able to see, there hasn’t been a shift in the direction of the trends over the past four months:

If you are unsure of why the trends are more important to us than specific numbers, please give me a call (925.817.8428) as I’m always happy to discuss these matters.  In addition for you real estate investors out there, if you are wondering about any cashflow positive opportunities, I would also recommend a call!
