Confidence Bugaboo

In his Communist Manifesto, Marx went on to say that it is "high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the specter of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself." Similarly, it would be nice if markets would clarify what they mean by "confidence" so that we would all know what we are really dealing with.
