Correct. I am a long.

Pps reflects news and sentiment

Realistic means fair analysis based on true facts and laws.
Also openness, transparency, honest disclosures about conflict of interest are necessary.

Both bearish and bullish traders are also realistic as long they are honest with facts, laws and disclosures.

I disagree.

People often equate negativity with "being realistic".

Someone who is realistic can analyze the positives and negatives of owning the GSEs and not express either negativity OR optimism in their comments.

Overwhelming negativity is no more realistic than unwarranted positivity.

Realistically, there are plenty of positive things going on for GSE owners right now...but still plenty of risk involved in our future as well.
