This board is infested with people who are bearish. (buy, sell, money)

[Du Pont]

Looks like it's time to buy stocks and be optimistic about the economy.

The world is infested with people who are bearish.

Sometimes, they influence the way the market behaves.

Deal with it.

[Reynard32]

But mostly they are just fearful, full-time gloom-and-doomers who see disaster around every corner even though they can't explain any of it.

This board is full of people who are bullish.

Rarer, but like a breath of fresh air, are people on this board who are realistic. The rational, objective, realistic people generally avoid hyperbolic language* and that is one way, but not the only way, to spot them.

* Here's an example of hyperbolic language from the Economics Forum:
"This is just crap man! Corporate Fascists have screwed us again! The Fed, Big Government, Big Business, Big Academia, The Media....they are all SCREWING us over!"

Yes, and this is why I said back in my posts when DOW was under 16K when all of the "crash" articles and the Cramer types of the world were saying to sell everything, the next big move in equities was to the upside. The crowd/herd is always wrong. With that said, the bubble is in the bond market. Smart money knows this, and the exiting of bonds will further pump up the US equity markets.
