To the 10% of vaginas here (the ones with itchy and crampy boxes), bear market rallies don't negate structural economic devastation. Remember that, girls.
You're the one that seems to be itchy/cranky with all your negative nancy posts. In fact, this thread doesn't have any reason to be in the economics section. Usually, you at least cut and paste. This time you didn't even do that. Chit chat.
Realistic is based on reality, is it not? Everything you post may be statistically accurate through news organizations, but overall does not reflect the current reality that is going on in the market - and the market is what Elitetrader is all about. Hence, you are not realistic.
What if it is the market that is being unrealistic in its expectations? Its been know to happen from time to time
