Congratulations if you made money in the markets. Like you said its not being an optimist or an pessimist its about being a realist. If negative di dapat pessimist tayo kapag positive dapat optimistic tayo. We change as the market and economy changes that's how you make money. Being stubborn has no place in trading the markets.

I don't know if Recto studied economics but the mere fact he is the head of NEDA makes him the countries chief economists. Whether he is qualified or not is irrelevant.

my point is it's not absolute truth//science lalong-lalo if the unpredictable wants/desires of people are involved.

In some forms I agree with you. I mean economics is a social science and not a natural science like physics or math. And when it involves human behavior its almost impossible to quantify it. Greed, Fear all of these things can;t easily be expressed in numbers which makes economics more interesting (at least for me) than the natural sciences. Hell even economists argue a lot amongst themselves on even the basics of where inflation comes from. Some people say the government is the biggest inflator by running a budget deficit, some say its because of the fiat money system, some say its just natural demand overwhelming supply. I doubt mathematicians will argue that 1+1 is always 2.

Gen. Miting,

dati walang Hyundai SUV, walang malls, walang fastfood, walang electronic gadgets, walang gym

ngayon mahirapan ka pag wala lahat yan diba?

ikaw ang nag cause sa inflation

hehehe

The fact that we use our credit cards in a way already contributes to inflation since virtually you are making the banks print money everytime you swipe your credit card.
