Market Outlook: Slowdown Signals Abound…Will a Post-Election Bounce Brighten the Outlook?
I am writing this article on a historic day. Barack Obama was just elected the 44th president of the United States.

World electronic industry and general economic data are quite sobering to date. Hopefully a modest post-election upturn is on the horizon.
