Utilitys have finally started playing along. If they continue climbing that would seem to indicate lower interest rates will continue. Perhaps the utes finally catching a bid is an indication that loose money is beginning to have an effect. stockcharts.com[w,a]waclyyay[pb50!b200][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9]

<9-11 recovery> I think you nailed it.....so many contracts were postponed at the end of the 3rd quarter (as you know, tech closed much of its biz in the last month of each quarter, even last week or 2).. For almost all tech, Sept. biz was abysmal...fell off a cliff.. For October/November....a lot of "we'll see" about those contracts, and quarterly forecasts were lower as a result....and now some/much of that business is closing, it is helping the Compaq's of the world beat estimates....but, as you indicated, it is mostly recovery from frozen 9/11 sales.. Also, a little sales blip up, given how dreadful sales have been for a year now, is not out-of-the-question, and certainly could be contributing factor as well.... But these 2 things are miles different from a fundamental, classic cyclical upswing (like in 98 in semis)...why many can't see, differentiate this...I have no clue.
