Skepticism yes. Cynicism no.
Skepticism in moderation is healthy, just as most foods in moderation are healthy. You need to be skeptical when evaluating companies, management and claims about the future.
Skepticism when it is overdone descends into cynicism. Cynicism is harmful because it is a static state of mind. It is unyielding, unbending and prone to dogma. Cynicism tends to be overwhelmingly negative, and as such distorts the bigger picture of positive growth, development and improvement.
