Outlook Foggy for Holiday Shopping Season

With all of the day's turmoil, consumer confidence is lower than it has been in years. The holiday season, which has long been a money-tree for retailers, is now cast in an unfavorable light. The Conference Board announced that the Consumer Confidence Index level was 59.8 on Tuesday, just half of what it was a year ago. The figure is derived from a survey of 5,000 American households, and how citizens see the economy. The 59.8 does not reflect Monday's sharp stock market drop, but it seems likely that confidence levels will continue to fall. Let us hear your thoughts…

The indices will likely continue to be strongly linked to news concerning the status of the government bailout, which as of Tuesday, was all but dead in the water. At least for now, the markets appear to be healing from their horrific injuries, but investor skepticism remains…

The Big Bailout – What’s Next?

The past seven days have been simply riddled with twists and turns concerning the status of a bailout that many said was necessary. The original package presented to Congress by the Bush administration was so fundamentally flawed that it was given little else but a rude reception. Twice now, a modified plan has been laid on the table and after much deliberation, plans have been twice brushed aside. It becomes increasingly apparent that there is no such thing as a flawless course of action in this instance, but many argue that the cost of inaction will carry the highest price…
