Well... that's indeed change.

Consumer Confidence Plunges - WSJ.com:

"U.S. consumer confidence plunged more than 10 points in February, raising concerns about the outlook for consumer spending, according to a report released Tuesday.

Separately, U.S. home prices fell in December but were up when adjusted for seasonal factors, according to the S&P Case-Shiller home-price indexes, as yearly declines continued to ease.

The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer confidence declined to 46.0 this month, from a revised 56.5 in January, first reported as 55.9. The February reading was far below the 54.8 expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires."
