    On consumer spending? The malls were packed here (SAC CA) over the weekend. I thought folks might come to blows fighting for parking spots.
    On the stock market? Wall of worry didn’t materialize. Gas prices falling. GDP at 3.8%. Majority of companies beating earnings estimates. The bears were wrong.
