no way in hell does recovery happen as quickly as decline
we slowed down in "internet time" to be sure
but to ramp up, ceo's need:
- assurances of renewed demand (not softening)
- reversal in consumer confidence (not wallowing)
- wider profit margins (not shrinking)
- brisker movement of inventory (not giveaways to clear aisles)

sorry, this is gonna take a long time
perhaps by Sept/Oct we might have clearer visibility 6-9 months out
if the market can get excited about a fogdream 2ndHalf Recovery in April/May,
it can EASILY get exuberant about a 2002 festival economically
but in the meantime, some cold water on the face this late spring/ early summer

each time we get horrible economic news, we hear "worst is here"
but worser is coming soon, just like b2b chip index of under 0.50
