The answer is yes. It is called the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE5605N720090701">Spectrem Millionaire Investor Index</a>. </p>
<p>The next question naturally is: "So what are the millionaires thinking about the economy?" The news is not good. The index fell 18 points to a -20 in June, a record decline since the index was created in 2004. Plus the index fell 17 points in May. A range of -11 to -30 indicates a slightly bearish sentiment. It's likely that millionaires underwent a reality check after a bout of over optimism in May.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/02/millionaires-have-lost-their-optimism-about-the-economy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Millionaires have lost their optimism about the economy</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/02/millionaires-have-lost-their-optimism-about-the-economy/">Millionaires have lost their optimism about the economy</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:30:00 EST.
