So it seems like you positive mood is predicated on recent stock performance, personal business observations, and moves you have made to reduce personal debt and exposure to the real estate markets. You yourself have stated that the willingness to take on debt is directly correlated to expectations of one's ability to service that debt. Other internal contradictions in your response:

- You indicated that corporate customers are reducing expenditures, but then question if we will enter recession. Macroeconomics 101.

- You expect a decline in real estate prices but do not expect that to effect the overall economy. However, real estate jobs have been an oversized percentage of job growth since the recession.

- You indicate that the stock market is a good predictor of the macroeconomic environment, but there is no direct correlation.
