American's have never felt this bad about the economy. The most recent "consumer sentiment index" cratered to its lowest level since data collection began in the 1970s. But as @John with @SecurusFinancial explains to @erinkennedy, this could actually be good news for your investments.

It may be tempting to think that low consumer sentiment would lead to poor stock market returns, but the historical record argues just the opposite. Take a look at the data (graph in video): during 8 sentiment troughs, if you look at each subsequent 12-month period, the S&P 500 return has averaged 24.9%!
