It is the pulmonary reading on february and found Consumer Sentiment found fell to a fourmonth low. Weve seen the effect of lower stock prices around the globe having an effect on sentiment. The preliminary index falling to 90. 7 in february from 92 in january. What was estimated by economists. The other number in his report is household longterm Inflation Expectations fell to the lowest on record, going all the way back to 1979. People not looking for any inflation, especially with the declines we have seen in Commodity Prices and prices that people are paying at grocery stores, for example. If you look at stocks, we are seeing them hold up, although, they have trimmed the gains, even a half hour to trading when we were open this morning, we saw stocks up across the board.

I didnt see this happening or becoming a reality because of the lack of experience that doug, you know, obviously doesnt have on his resume.
