  It's all perspective.
  
  If you're a Wall Street executive, you've been dancing on air since you started laying off massive numbers of people in 2008.
  
  If you're a day/swing trader, you've been loving life for months now.
  
  If you're an active investor, you might be feeling like you're almost back to even.
  
  If you're a white-collar worker, your investments (mostly institutional, some personal) still haven't recovered fully, you might have only taken a minor pay cut, but at least you're still employed, though your house might be underwater.
  
  If you're a blue collar worker, your investments (all institutional) still haven't recovered fully, you're either unemployed or underemployed, and the threat of layoffs is still looming large, and your house might be underwater.

  "bbro, you just used too much logic for people here at SA."

  "...89 percent rate the economy negatively, 77 percent call it a bad time to spend money and 59 percent say their own finances are hurting – all near their lows in 23 years of weekly polls."
  
  Now THAT's not speculation, nor "economist fuzzy math". That is from the source of economic spending. A harsh logical reality that eludes the "experts".
  
  Hey bbro, the "lagging indicator" has been lagging for close to 2 years now. Define "lagging" and then define "trending".

  And rising foreclosures is a leading indicator of stablization in home prices?
  
  Optimism is a lagging indicator of reality.
