Fifty banks failed during the third quarter, the largest number since the end of 1992. What’s more, the number of banks on the FDIC's socalled “problem list” rose to 552 from 416 last quarter, the highest level in 16 years. Those banks have some kind of issue that could lead to their eventual failure. Both major banks and smaller institutions have struggled in the past year due to rising loan losses and continued credit delinquencies. Problem banks 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 A O DOW DOW Trans.

That means they think it’s better to load up on low-risk bonds, CDs and money market funds than to put lots of cash into stocks. But that may not work if they plan to stick around for a while. Or if prices rise. During the past 30 years, inflation took an annual 4 percent bite out of those “safe” investments, leaving a yearly inflation-adjusted return of just 2 percent. Meanwhile, stock investors averaged an 8 percent inflation-adjusted return. This chart shows two possible outcomes for an investor who started with $75,000 at age 45 in 1973. She contributed $5,000 a year to a retirement account until she stopped working at age 65 in 1993. Since then, she’s withdrawn $58,500 a year. History doesn’t always repeat, but this case shows how “safe” can turn out to be sorry, indeed.

Open High By BOB WILLIS 90 D J-09 F M A M J J A S O Confidence among U.S. consumers unexpectedly rose in November as a brightening outlook masked growing concern over joblessness. The Conference Board’s confidence index increased to 49.5 from 48.7 the prior month. The New York-based Conference Board’s index, which focuses on the labor market and purchase plans, averaged 58 in 2008 and 103.4 in 2007. The report showed Americans fretted over jobs, signaling the highest unemployment rate in 26 years may restrain spending and limit the recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s. Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT) last week said it remains cautious about sales this quarter and expects to offer incentives to spur holiday shopping. “Labor market perceptions are very weak,” said David Sloan, chief U.S. economist at 4Cast Inc. in New York, who forecast an increase in confidence. “What did drive is up was expectations, optimism that things will get better, not that things have gotten better.” Other reports Tuesday showed home prices rose and the economy grew at a slower pace last quarter as consumer spending climbed less than the government previously estimated. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke last week said joblessness and limited bank lending were “headwinds” for the economy. Economists forecast confidence would decrease to 47.3 from a previously reported 47.7 for October, according to the median of 74 projections in a Bloomberg News survey. Estimates ranged from 40.7 to 53. The S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index of 20 U.S. cities increased 0.3 percent in September from the prior month on a seasonally adjusted basis after a 1.1 percent rise in August, the group said Tuesday in New York. The gauge fell 9.4 percent from September 2008, the smallest year-over-year decline since the end of 2007. The world’s largest economy expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the third quarter, down from the 3.5 percent pace estimated last month, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. The figures also showed corporate profits climbed 10.6 percent, the most in five years. The Conference Board’s measure of present conditions decreased to 21, the lowest level in 26 years, from 21.1 the prior month. The decrease reflected growing concern over unemployment with a measure of job availability reaching the lowest level since 1983. The share of consumers who said jobs are plentiful fell to 3.2 percent from 3.5 percent, according to the Conference Board. The proportion of people who said jobs are hard to get increased to 49.8 percent from 49.4 percent. The gauge of expectations for the next six months climbed to 68.5 from 67 the prior month. The proportion of people who expect their incomes to rise over the next six months decreased to 10 percent from 10.7 percent. The share expecting more jobs dropped to 15.2 percent from 16.8 percent. Buying plans for automobiles and real estate dropped this month, the report showed. Home-buying expectations decreased to the lowest level since 1982. “Income expectations remain very pessimistic and consumers are entering the holiday season in a very frugal mood,” Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board’s Consumer Research Center, said in a statement. The United States has lost 7.3 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007 and more losses are forthcoming. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) chief U.S. economist Jan Hatzius forecast earlier this month that unemployment would average 10.4 percent next year.
