Hi Stan, That's the best news I've seen in a long time. Recent articles suggest that as 80% capacity is approached plans for CAPEX kickin. I'm sure P.O.'s go out at "full". This market is very close to a nice reversal - maybe one last test - but I can be patient.gg Thanks for the positive news - what's a matter you trying to be a stan -d out?? Bob

Asian Stocks: Japan's Canon, Honda Gain; Taiwan, Hong Kong Fall By Michael Tsang quote.bloomberg.com Tokyo, June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average rose from a one-month low, led by exporters such as Canon Inc., on optimism U.S. consumer spending will help bolster profits as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported better-than-expected sales. `` U.S. consumer spending is picking up and with that we have seen exporters gain,'' said Yasuo Taniguchi, a fund manager at Daiwa Asset Management Co., who helps manage $414 million. The Nikkei 225 stock average advanced 1.1 percent to 11,492.33. The Topix index rose 1 percent to 1103.55, with computer-related stocks and automakers accounting for almost a third of the gain. Automakers including Honda Motor Co. rose as the yen's fall to a two-week low yesterday eased concern a strengthening currency will erode their repatriated profit. In other markets, Taiwan's TWSE Index dropped 1.9 percent, led by Lite-On Technology Corp. on concern its plan to merge with three affiliates won't reduce costs as much as expected. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 0.5 percent as investors bet they can buy shares of the market's biggest company at lower prices when the government sells its stockholdings.
