#'s on PC sales growth from The Bull Market Report.. 1. PC SALES LOOK STRONG According to a recent report by IDC, worldwide PC volume is expected to reach 33 million units in the current quarter, representing a 10% sequential (wow!) increase from 2Q00. Although PC growth in the U.S. has been stagnating and prices have been falling, the same cannot be said for other markets throughout the world. Consumer demand in Asia and Japan has been huge, and these markets are currently growing at a 35% clip. The U.S. market is expected to make a comeback as well. The fourth quarter tends to be the strongest because of back-to-school sales, and we expect the holiday season to be a good one too. COMMENT: 33 million in the quarter equates to a 130 million PC year. Wow, again! This is 4 per second!!! Repeat, 4 per second, every day of the year!
