That's 70 straight revisions to the upside.

Let's say you bet one penny on June 30, 2011 that the initial claims would be revised higher the next week. Each week you won you doubled your bet. This is how much money you would have now.

$0.01 x 2^70 = $11,805,916,207,174,113,034.24

Try not to spend it all in the same place!
