New USA factory orders orders posted a 2.3 percent rise in December, the best
rise since July.  Orders for durable goods, items with a three year life span, rose 5 percent.

Some analysts expectations were a 2.5 percent gain in factory orders and a 5 percent rise in durable goods orders.

The good news?  While this is certainly slowing growth, and not meeting analysts 'expectations', it is still growth.  We will continue to watch this monthly, and reflect the chance for recession in our stock picks and stock screening algorithms.
