Investor Confidence Crashes

From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Investor Index dropped 15 points on Friday, the largest single day decline ever recorded in its seven-year history. The drop caps a week of extreme volatility for the Index and now shows investor confidence at the lowest level in two months.

The culprit—both for the volatility and the current low level of confidence—is shifting perceptions on where the economy is heading next. Today, just 24% of investors say the economy is getting better while 47% say it is getting worse. A couple of days ago, the outlook was much less pessimistic: 34% better and 40% worse.

It can’t get better until we start creating wealth and just as long as Obamunism is running the show, so long will our economy continue to deteriorate. Obama is just moving fiat money around – moving, that is, pretend money in the hopes that some how, some way, real money will result. Its a fool’s hope.
