The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of June 17th, 2012
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Sales of building materials fell 1.7%, following a 2.3% drop in April – yet, sales of building materials for the first five months of the year were up 11.1% vs. the same period in 2011. That’s not weak.
