You do seem to be a selective optimist, though...

Selective in which way?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

My question wasn't with regard to specifics. Do you mean (1) that I am choosing only the positive and not focusing on the negative; or (2) that I choose to be an optimist only on some things?

Cue Hershell writing that it will all end in a depression much worse than the Great Depression, ef writing that he has "adjusted" the good news so that now it's all bad, and Colon writing cautiously that this can't be good for the manufacturing sector.
Let's get it all out of the way in one fell swoop. Doom. Doom.

To be a little more serious about this, I'm curious about why things are the way they are and haven't really settled on definite opinions about most things economic. However, I can say for certain that it's more realistic as a general matter to be more optimistic than pessimistic. You live longer, too.

Funny thing, I had just been checking the latest flow of funds release today, and I came to discover net financial investment (gained assets minus gained debts) by households had been an annualised minus $688 billion during Q2 '05. Good thing corporate America has been holding back on its capital expenditures (only just reaching back the nominal level of 2000) otherwise US' current account deficit wouldn't have been this "modest" right now.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
Ask Colon...
But hey, who cares about this, and an almost inverted yield curve, when you got a lagging indicator like employment telling us all is fine?
