Watching Fox news at the gym every morning is good motivation for burning calories, but I always need a reality check when I get to work.
Here’s a dose of reality that I didn’t see on Fox this morning:
Ford posts best 1Q profit in 13 years
UPS raises 2011 forecast as 1Q profit soars
Consumer Confidence Index rises in April
Together, these reports indicate that consumers are willing to spend, they’re feeling somewhat better about job creation and businesses are reaping the benefit.
