Poll Indicates Christmas Cheer For Personal Computer Sellers; "Mildly Bullish' Demand; New IBD/TIPP outlook suggests stronger sales this holiday than in 2004.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)(IBD/TIPP POLL)
Byline: PATRICK SEITZ
Consumer spending on personal computers looks to remain strong this holiday season, says a new survey, but high gasoline prices and other factors could change that.
The IBD/TIPP Home Computer Purchase Outlook Index stands at 19.3. That's above the 12-month average of 18.6.
That signals "mildly bullish" demand for new PCs over the next six months, says Constantine Kambanis, an analyst at TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence.
"Overall I would expect a better holiday season this year than last year," Kambanis said. "But high energy prices may put a damper on that."
Gas Prices Hurt
As gas prices rise, consumers might feel they have less money to spend on items like new PCs, he says.
