"All the indicators are still down if you do not count for the sharp downturn in September/October and the reversal in November."

Not so...Most of the lagging indicators are down to be sure, but that should be no surprise...We are in a recession as defined by 2 successive quarters of negative GNP but those 2 successive quarters occurred almost 65 months ago...Inventories are the lead indicator in any recovery and in several pockets of the economy, inventories have not only been worked off but are strengthening...My guess is that the PC segment is one of those segments showing strength judging by the difficulty in obtaining product across some performance ranges...AMD's strengthening revenues would support the contention that recovery may well be underway...

The fed has been more aggressive than at anytime in its history with downward rate adjustments at the rate of 1 per month this year and with an additional cut expected this week...A couple of maxims come to mind: Never fight the fed and historically Nov to Apr period is much stronger than the Apr to Nov period...
