Dow only 2% from all time highs-
and Nasdaq only 2% from 7 year highs. Now, the only question I would like to ask is- how is the consumer better off today than he was from 2003-2006? Please tell me how sub prime problems, alt A problems, decreasing home prices, increased credit card debt, high energy prices, higher gasoline prices, and creeping inflation put consumers in a better position?
