The Conference Board reported that its Consumer Confidence Index dipped to 104.7 in March, though the outlook is improved year over year. Echo Wealth Management Financial Advisor Echo Huang joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into consumer confidence, investment psychology, and what investors and consumers should know about saving money to build wealth.

May not be extreme, but it's about 20.

Especially when the valuation is relatively high. " For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.
