Contrary Investor:

"We are seeing an increase in the number of chemical products being placed on allocation and order control." (Chemicals)

"Concern over the price of oil and its effect on the future prices of commodities. Existing inventories are being depleted and we are seeing some significant price increases in some commodities." (Electronic Components & Equipment)

"New business (signed contracts) is sluggish. Quoting activity is high." (Industrial & Commercial Equipment & Computers)

"Most price increase letters I have ever seen." (Instruments & Photographic Equipment)

What you see above was literally lifted verbatim from Tuesday's ISM report. This is directly from the front lines. No Street Strategist or Economist interpretation here. In fact, we directly cut and pasted what you see above from the actual report with absolutely zero editing. Absolutely nothing taken out of context. This is exactly how it appeared in the text. Since we're feeling particularly lazy at the moment, how about just two more cut and paste jobs.
