Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Just as you thought things were starting to improve, consumers went back into a funk this month. In the latest Consumer Confidence report for the month of July, confidence plummeted from 99.8 down to 90.9 even as economists were forecasting sentiment to improve to a level of 100.0.
