Cary,

"This economic climate" as referred to in my previous post refers to the bubble aftermath that we are in. It is characterized by a falling stock market which can lead to a "wealth effect in reverse" and a general revulsion for financial assets, a decline or at any rate a slowdown in the growth of IT spending by corporations, and a retrenchment by the consumer, who may curtail his spending on discretionary consumer electronic purchases if he senses a decline in his wealth or income. While it may be true that the stock market has forecast "twelve of the last nine recessions" [Samuelson], the decline we have witnessed in only the last two weeks appears serious enough to me that it could endanger the nascent recovery.
