20 MACROECONOMIC REVIEW Thesis Declining asset values, combined with high unemployment rates and decreased access to capital, continue to influence consumption of discretionary categories in 2010 as we believe it is impacting the consumer psychology and confidence. Macroeconomic Trends Employment situation is improving, but not as quickly as was initially hoped Consumer has the capacity to spend, but will they? Home prices and net worth improving, but partially driven by stimulus Confidence will be key driver of consumer spending Non-Discretionary spending increasing as a portion of total Retail Sales excluding autos remains below 2008 levels 20
