Stock Market Day Trading Or Shopping Malls?

Because of the recent recessionary state of the economy, my thoughts have been less about the stock market and more about the value of my property and health of my 401K. But regardless of my focus, stock market day trading is still alive and as unpredictable as ever. Some people are looking to it as if it were a shrine to bring about signs of rejuvenating rain to a very dry season. Others are pulling out as much as possible in fear that their own investments will end up getting washed away. Regardless of these speculations, much of the economic spending trend seems to still be the same. If you look at your local malls or shopping centers, it would be very hard to notice anything different occurring negatively to the economy. Sure, people are aware of it with gas prices so high and the news of banks being crippled. But how much has it changed the everyday life of the common consumer? Chances are you and I will still go to a local restaurant to enjoy some overpriced microwavable wings and pasta. But I think the only difference now is that the restaurant must be near by.
