Millionaire are (sort of) optimistic

This may mean something, or nothing, but a monthly index that measures the confidence of people with $1 million or more in investible assets rose significantly in October. From the Wealth Report:

The reason: the recent stock market climb. Millionaires cited "stock market conditions" as the factor most likely to affect their investment decisions. Interestingly, the "political climate," which had been among the top concern for months, is now among the least of their concerns (only 8%). Of course, millionaires aren't exactly popping the champagne corks. The index is now at zero, meaning "neutral" territory. "While the stock market's October gains clearly contributed to this positive trend, underlying economic fundamentals remain a top concern for America's wealthiest investors," said George H. Walper Jr., President of Spectrem Group.
