But people who lead in this world are optimists who have a positive outlook on life.

It depends how you define optimists. NASDAQ 2000 speculators were optimists, too.

People like me are optimistic things will eventually change for the better. But excessive debt/monetary printing presses/binging on consumption are not "better".

I don't define optimists as being naive or short sighted. I say prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

But those who are ignoring the overall encouraging economic news and dwelling on every little bad report they can find are losers who spread negativity and discouragement everywhere they go. And then they die.

Eventually change for the better? The biggest rise in GDP in 20 years in the 3rd quarter. Stock market rising from 7000 to over 10,000? The biggest housing boom ever. Interest rates low. Inflation low. Unemployment drops from 6.4% to 5.6% this year.

There's plenty to be positive about. Unless you're a Democrat.

Short covering!

Higher highs and higher lows since last March belie your sophomoric analysis--we must be in a year long short covering rally!

Where did the shorts, go short? Oh, I get it, they're still short from two years ago even with their positions out of the money for 12 months.

Please leave the economic forecasts to the adults.
