It could just be the websites and t.v. programs I watch. I look at very few. So maybe I just happen to be tuned into the "bullish" view. Though, I did happen to catch a video from CNBC of Jim Rogers. He's very bearish on financials and bullish on commodities (even gold). He thinks financials won't see a bottom til CitiBank hit 8. And, I've posted here recently stating that the XLF is going to 13. So, it will be interesting to see how that plays out. :~)
