Cautious optimism

Is it just my imagination or is the consensus shifting to a more optimistic view of the economy and financial markets?

Maybe the media has just decided to select more positive headlines before they plunge us back into doom and gloom. Could they be that smart?

Maybe it's just me being more selective about which news items and analyst's commentaries that I read. Or maybe it's because those bargain stocks I bought over the last six months are finally up 20%!

In any case, I've decided to stop worrying, be more optimistic and act accordingly. It feels better already. You should try it.
