The health of industrial equipment suppliers appear to be rebounding due to an increase in orders for new jobs that are coming in. With the most recent announcements of equipment manufacturers like Caterpillar boosting their earnings and talking about signs of improved sales this only helps other suppliers to understand that the picture is getting better. The stock market is hitting 6 month highs as the economy is starting to report on higher growth and slowing of jobless claims. One of the other factors helping the stocks is that Congress will try and delay any movement on the health care bill that could bring on massive debt to insurers and the govt. with no real fix insight.
