What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports Citi data shows U.S. luxury spending fell six percent in September on weak demand. That suggests strain is reaching higher earners too.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFor markets, it muddies the soft-landing story. If the people buying handbags are pulling back, consumer discretionary names could feel it.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSix percent, Hank. The rich are skipping the three-thousand-dollar scarf. Somewhere a yacht salesman is crying into a very small espresso.
