Does the consumer confidence report affect consumer confidence?

Seems like people would think that other people know something they don’t, so the trend of consumer confidence would make continuing that trend more likely. (Consumer confidence is going up, so I’m more confident about the economy)

Can a thermometer be accurate if what it said yesterday influences the temperature today?

You are correct. There is a circular effect. That is why they have disallowed "exit polls" to be conducted at Polling Places in New York when people in California haven’t voted yet. Why vote when they have already predicted the winner.If the newspaper said that times were good, would you say they were good just because the newspaper said it…. i don’t think you would. We Americans are too independent.

Have you heard of "Google Trends"? Could it be the most accurate "polling" ever?

Apparently, it is already wildly inaccurate because we all know that nobody cares about Ron Paul.

I have not heard of it, or its pluses, or minuses.

For my marketing job, sometimes work i at my home office, purchasing material for trends, is this deductable?

Are any office supplies or "entertainment" purchases made (movies, magazines, internet, etc) tax deductable? Most of these items are related to becoming for informed for work.

Just for the space you use. If you have a 5 room house you can deduct 1/5 of the house expenses for business purposes. No…The office supplies, etc., are a business expense.

What is the business trends this coming 2010 ?

If Obama is elected – companies that manufacture Medical equipment will be laying off people because sales will be down due to socialized medicine………….

I guess that is OK – thousands of people will lose their jobs – but they will have access to crappier health care than they have now.
