"I wouldn't say that industry executives are any better than anyone else at predicting downturns."

Or Fed Chairman for that matter. In defense of what Brian said however, it is a good thing, not a bad thing that many ceos feel this way. The more confident people are out there, especially now, the better. The more stock being repurchased the better. This help firm up the economy and the markets. But it is certainly no guarantee.
