Affluent household confidence levels dropped slightly in October indicating that investors are still nervous about the future. The Spectrem Affluent Investor Confidence Index (SAICI) dropped from -13 to -15. (Affluent investors are defined as those with $500,000 of investable assets). This rating is still in bearish territory based upon the overall Index scoring. Millionaires were similarly doubtful with the Spectrem Millionaire Investor Confidence Index (SMICI) dropping from -5 to -7.
