Cramer on Top-Searched Stocks: Joy Global

Updated from 7:01 a.m. EDT

May marks the fifth-straight month of decline in consumer confidence. A New York-based Conference Board stated that soaring gas prices and weakening job prospects left shoppers less confident about the economy, sending a key measure of consumer sentiment to its lowest level since October 1992, when the economy was coming out of a recession. Unfortunately, some economists think that consumer confidence has yet to bottom out.

In the housing market, there is good news for home buyers: Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller said its national home price index fell 14.1% in the first quarter compared with a year earlier, the lowest since its inception in 1988. The quarterly index covers all nine U.S. Census divisions.
