Consumer confidence drops...

This morning we got news that confidence among consumers plunged to its lowest level since April 2009. The consumer confidence index dropped to a reading of 44.5 in August from 59.2 in July, according to the Conference Board. Economists had been looking for a reading of 52.

That's a big miss by the experts...however a few good weeks in the stock market can turn that confidence around very quickly.
