A chart to put things in perspective?

The Confidence Index, developed by Barron's in 1932, uses corporate bond yields as one of its components. The Confidence Index attempts to measure the "confidence" that investors have in the economy by comparing high grade bond yields to speculative grade bond yields.

If investors are optimistic about the economy, they are more likely to invest in speculative bonds, thereby driving speculative bond yields down, and the Confidence Index up. On the other hand, if they are pessimistic about the economy, they are more likely to move their money from speculative grade bonds to conservative high-grade bonds, thereby driving high-grade bond yields down and the Confidence Index down.
