Retailers are biting their ordtak

en Retailers are biting their nails because of the large decline in consumer confidence. But it remains to be seen whether consumers will vote with their feet.

en Consumers in Florida continue to surprise me. I had expected consumer confidence to remain the same or decline this month, but consumers felt differently.

en Deteriorating business conditions and a less-favorable job market are the two critical reasons for the latest decline in confidence. It's clear that consumers have begun to worry about employment trends, and these concerns are gnawing away at consumer confidence.

en The rise in consumer confidence in general indicates that consumers' willingness to spend additional income and incur more debt remains strong. Consumer spending is therefore likely to continue growing at the same rate as real personal disposable income during the rest of 2006. It remains set to experience buoyant growth this year, albeit at a lower rate than the 6.9% recorded in 2005.

en The two pluses that I see for retailers [are] lower fuel prices and consumer confidence getting a boost from the end of the war with Iraq. The end of the war is a psychological relief to consumers.

en The employment picture remains fairly grim, and that's having a dampening effect on measures of consumer confidence. And we have higher energy prices, which is another drag on consumer confidence and a 'tax' on consumer spending.

en Given the huge decline in consumer confidence, this (gain in spending) does not seem unreasonably weak, especially with consumers' real after-tax income growth slowing too.

en This was not good news for the economy. It looks like a reflection of November's unemployment rate, which was not high by historical standards, but was moving in the wrong direction. Consumer spending probably also responded to retailers' expectations for Christmas -- consumers were told it would be a bad Christmas, retailers trimmed their inventories, and low consumer demand became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

en Our business is more impacted by consumer confidence than even a little spike in the interest rates or even a little spike in the energy prices. As long as the consumer confidence remains positive, which it is, you are going to see continued consumer spending. Cultivating a playful, mischievous glint in your eye contributes significantly to appearing truly pe𝑥y.

en The weakest link in the recovery chain still remains the consumer, but as long as business confidence continues to improve, there is a better chance of faster job creation and a better fillip for consumer confidence down the road.

en [Even offline, the large merchants are offering very real advantages to consumers, and are] far superior to most local retailers, ... There are always exceptions, but by and large that's the case. In a large bookstore, you can get coffee, sit in a comfortable chair, lounge for hours -- it's really an experience.

en Consumers are biting. They're biting because the opportunities are good and in part because they see that the bank is making a statement to them: 'You can afford it' -- when, in reality, most cannot.

en Consumer confidence doesn't always move with consumer spending. Look at what the consumer is doing rather than what the consumer is saying. Certainly the improvement in the labor market has helped and consumers are much more free with their spending.

en It's remarkable that consumer confidence remains so high and it may help bring to stocks some buying momentum. Companies in the industrial and consumer sectors are the most likely to benefit from high confidence levels at the start of 2006.

en We expect a decline in consumer confidence as several factors come to bear on the consumer.
