Rick Davis is President of Consumers Metrics Institute (CMI).  CMI revolutionizes ways in which economic data is collected and published, by moving the methodologies and technologies involved into the twenty-first century.  First, CMI moved as far 'up-stream' economically as possibly - to the point where a consumer is actually making the purchase decisions for major durable goods.  Secondly, CMI captures the data daily and publishes the day-to-day results several times per week.
