Market expected Conference Board Consumer Confidence at 109.5 but it came 4% short – another confirmation of recession
Sam Adelton
Oct. 31, 2006

According to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence number says the recession has started although people are still confident that things will better somewhat. No one yet doubts Government’s ability to provide a soft landing. The lower gas prices and higher stock prices did make people somewhat ecstatic. But what is conspicuous is that the wall street gurus and the economists making millions and billions are again wrong.
The Fed cannot lower rates because of the price deflator and tight labor market. The economy has fooled the Fed again. They are trapped. They cannot lower rates while the economy dips into deep recession.
The stock market will be hurt the worst. While rates will remain comparatively high, the growth and earnings will collapse.
