Not what I'm hearing from the Private Manufacturing world.
They are saying orders are slowly picking up however, there are no plan's to hire in the next year for most and their margins are very tight.
Most are cautious but hopefull. Their inventories have been almost depleted as has their clients. Yet, there are no plans with most I know, to rench up Inventory.
So, I would say my clients are more upbeat but very very cautious as are their customers.
Publicly traded companies are full of shit, their 10Ks are bullshit and most are carrying a huge debt load that they have to do whatever tricks they can to get their stock's moving higher...get some more working capital.
Public Companies are a Joke.
True traders should clean up on all this volitility that could last a while....
