Current conditions are sucking the life, confidence from investors

Ed Carson, news editor at Investor's Business Daily says that current conditions are worrisome enough that investors may not be able to adjust their attitudes quickly, as they do in more normal times. Discussing the IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, Carson discusses how the big decline this month was caused by gas prices as much or more than by war in Ukraine, but he notes that given how fast prices have risen at the pump, the decline in confidence may just be getting started. Also on the show, Chuck answers a listener's question about which investment companies are avoiding Russia, and author Joe Sanok chats about changing your lifestyle and making Thursday 'the New Friday.' In the Market Call, Andrew Graham of Jackson Square Capital talks stocks and in the lightning round revisits three securities that Chuck discussed on yesterday's show with David Harden of Summit Global investments.
