CNN Asserting Consumer confidence may be decreasing on whether stock prices will rise over next year

in economy •  7 years ago 

The CNN article discussed below discusses how just 1/3 of people polled expected stock prices to rise within the next year. Apparently in January the poll was 51%.

No discussion about the sample size or how people were polled is mentioned in the article. It is very questionable how reliable this poll might, especially for representing the views of a hegemonic power of 330 million people. Were they calling land lines? Were they going door to door? What about people with caller id, which is most cell phones?

Arguendo assuming these polls are not just completely worthless this is one of the largest swings since this poll first started happening in 1987

The article goes on to discuss when the stock market will peak for the year. It will be interesting how the economy functions for the rest of the year and what people think about it as the year continues

Keep in mind The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index Increased in April (https://www.conference-board.org/data/consumerconfidence.cfm) this is not a CNN poll or anything.

So there was one question on the poll about stocks where results more negative than January (according to CNN, the data needs to be purchases if you want those details, I assume they did that). Let's see.. the stock market is down a couple thousand from January and now consumers are more negative on it.. like surprise! This by itself means very little. Here's another take on this same consumer confidence report. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/consumer-confidence-in-april-rebounds-close-to-18-year-high-2018-04-24
