re: <<An interesting interview with the CEO of Veritas on CNBC. He said that forecasts for orders were showing a correlation to the market. As the market picked up last week they started to see improved order flow. If the market can stabilize for a while (hopefully it has)....we should see capex spending recover over the next quarter or two.>> That's what I meant when I said, the more market goes up, the more sustaining it will be. The market is ruled by perception, there are no hard rules to determine the correct price for a stock, market perception is influenced by how the market is acting, and how companies and economies are doing. The market is used as a gauge on the health of the economy, and is voted on daily. As companies see the market go up, they begin to feel more comfortable about moving forward with investments in R&D, advertisement and marketing campaigns. Which lead to the consumers who are also influenced about how they perceive the economy by using the market as a gauge, will consume more freely. Finally, all the above is influenced by interest rates. But rates will not do it alone, above all you need corporate and individual consumers perception to be positive. B
