Three months ago Barack Obama was firmly in the dock over news that no net jobs were created in August. Some gloomy people even saw a double-dip recession on the way. America, it turns out, was not on the verge of recession, and it still isn't. Fears that the government might shut down on December 16th over funding disagreements are fading; Congress has passed three appropriations bills and is closing in on the remaining nine. More important, Republican leaders have indicated that they would like to extend both a 2% payroll-tax cut and the availability of up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, writes The Economist.

It's nearly two years since the Electrocomponents share price has been this low, says the Investment Column in the Independent. The aptly named distributor of electrical components has been under the cosh because of worries about the world economy. Taken as a whole, the first half numbers look fine and dandy: group revenue grew by 11 per cent year on year, with the international business up 14 per cent while the UK (surprise surprise) managed 5 per cent. However, that growth is slowing: in the second quarter group revenue grew by only 8 per cent year on year, the international business by 11 per cent and the UK by only 2 per cent. If you want yield there are better, more defensive places to get it. And we don't see sentiment towards the company improving any time soon, as the market focuses on the economic outlook. Sell, the Independent recommends.

For investors in Hampson Industries, take-off has been a long time coming. A year ago the maker of tools and composite structures for the aerospace industry agreed new terms with lenders on its £141 million debt, but this was not enough to head off a £59.5 million rights issue in February. The shares, on about eight times this year's earnings, are effectively a punt on him delivering. A buy for recovery, but not for the cautious, says the Times.
