Dan,

How many CEO's, who's job it is to increase investor contributions to their firms, paint the economy in a negative light?

'Insert Major Bank or investment CEO's name here'
"Hey, the market conditions look pretty dicey right now. This and that are going down, blah blah blah, don't invest your money right now"

You'll rarely ever hear any people in that position speak negatively, because that equates to driving away customers.

In CEO land, things are always Peachy ..unless your name is Tony and your'e the CEO of a major oil firm...
