Last year left investors hoping for positive change, and they certainly seemed to have gotten it in 2009.

Though the Dow plummeted to a bruising low of 6,547 in March, the major U.S. indexes have since largely reflected a more upbeat attitude.

Just yesterday, the Dow closed at 10,548.51, the Nasdaq sat at 2,291.28 and the S&P 500 set the financial world into a tizzy by fully retracing 50% of what it had previously lost.

Even the job market got some good news on Tuesday, when CareerBuilder.com polls showed that a full fifth of employers plan to add full-time employees in the coming year (as compared to 14% for 2009… with only 9% foreseeing further cuts).

In a happy development for some if not all retailers, retail sales data released this morning indicates that consumers spent 3.6% more on holiday shopping this year between the critical Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve period than they did last year. The retail sales period in question had an extra day this year. And last year’s holiday shopping season was particularly bad, when overall sales dropped 3.4% amid a very uncertain financial backdrop. Despite these caveats, today’s retail sales numbers are positive and welcome. They add to the growing list of favorable newsflow on improving fundamentals of the underlying economy. With the labor market expected to turn the corner in the not-too-distant future, the outlook for the retail sector ...
