It's how the system works. Increase in spending turns into increased profits for investors (shareholders) which in turn provides more capital to both established and emerging businesses.

An increase in consumer confidence through the sale of non-durable, trivial goods increases the overall outlook on the economy and gets the people who are usually investing in items that have a better ROI to start doing so again. Just like in the 30's, what could be argued as the single biggest contributing factor to the current economic downturn is our over reliance on and over purchasing of durable goods (let's put houses in there too). The market needs to settle back into equilibrium. Because of this over-purchasing, we're going to see a larger upturn in consumer commodities and smaller personal items before the average "Tyler" starts putting their cash in potentially more appropriate vessels.
