There is a fine line between "negativism and realism"...and there are very few that can determine the difference...
The bashers are as far left as one can go toward the "negative"...trying to use whatever tool they can to deceive, distract, and rob decent people...
A "Doubting Thomas", to some, presents a negative viewpoint, but, he is real, is discerning of the past, is aware of the present, and how that past has influenced the present, and is looking to see how that past will also influence the future...just show him the nails in the hands, that's all.
In other words, from a stock investment perspective, the realistic person has knowledge of the past, remembers the past experiences he has had with the past and/or similar situations, and respects the past for the experiences that he has learned from it...good and bad. "He that fails, or refuses to acknowledge the past, will be doomed to repeat it."
We are told that "in ALL our getting, get understanding"...which is DD in the stock arena. How can one get understanding by just listening to one side of the story all the time...and following their DD instead of doing your own?
In the same sense, we are also told that "...people perish for their lack of vision." So, keeping a positive perspective on things is the way to go...as we all are hopeful that our dreams for ERBB will be realized.
There has to be a balance between the Doubting Thomas's and the beyond reality cheerleaders that blow so much smoke that it is blinding, wanting the negative and harmful evidence of the past to be hidden by the verbal smoke that is spewed...that balance is "reality."
"Many will hear, and not understand; many will see, and not PERCEIVE." AJMHO, of course, FWIW...
