Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Everyone has heard the term “Put your money where your mouth is.” Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders released a note recently with research showing that consumers are “saying” they have confidence in the economy going forward, but data such as retail sales figures aren’t matching that level of confidence – in other words, they aren’t “putting their money where their mouths are”.

Wall Street analysts and economists collect various measures of data and most can be broken down into either of two groups—“hard” and “soft” data. Hard data are things like actual figures, retail sales, and number of vehicles sold. Soft data tends to be consumers’ or business managers’ opinions of the economy — like consumer confidence data and purchasing manager surveys. Ms. Sonders notes that, for example, the Conference Board’s “soft” consumer confidence data hit its highest level in 17 years last month, but on the other hand “hard” data like retail sales fell for a second straight month in March.
