Description: This survey focused on the stock market. Respondents were asked if they thought the economy was getting better or worse, whether they thought they would be better off financially one year from now, if they planned to spend more or less money than last year at Christmas, and whether stock market prices affected them personally. Additional questions pertained to the recent sharp drop in stock prices and its impact on the respondent, and the respondent's understanding of a number of terms used to describe the economy and the stock market (e.g., the Down Jones Industrial Average, federal budget and trade deficits, liquidity, ''buying on margin'', and bear and bull markets). Demographic characteristics of respondents are included.
