Whats the mood like in the U.S. are people hopefull of a continued recovery. There is so much conflicting information around at the moment. One report on Bloomberg states that consumer confidence had declined yet I just read another one that says retail sales are up. In OZ companies are continuing to go into liquidation and not just small companies either, Toyota is sacking 300 workers today due to poor sales and the banks have been cutting employees for a few years.
