You're right, I guess the sample is probably representative of the thinking out there, hell they all watch the same tv shows that tell them what to think...I should have said it is not representative of reality

I understand the reasons it is up, probably due to the extension of new credit and lower rates and the refi's, but I think there is some denial and optimism thrown in. Some people only think in one direction, I know because they make posts saying "if you short sell, you don't believe in business and cannot be in business because of that negative attitude" I swear I read something very close to that from some clown the other day. I think their logic for the economy and their own financial health is still something like "It won't get worse because it can't"....just like chic pointed out that some think the world will end if SUNW goes to $4.

I would only ask why shouldn't consumer confidence even be higher than it is reported. He has every thing he needs, late model car, house, job, computer, television, etc.
