Everyday Investors' Confidence In US Public Companies Is Highest Since 2009

Investor confidence in the U.S. economy is at its highest point since 2009, but Americans are still less willing to take investment risks than they were seven years ago. A survey released Thursday by the Center for Audit Quality, a Washington D.C. based group that tracks the veracity of public company auditing, found that 73 percent of investors say they are confident in U.S. capital markets, up from 61 percent in 2011.
