We are all now slaves to be used and abused.

[unixfox]

Who wants to bet that every damn one of them are trading strategically on THEIR news.

Friggin traitors. Oughta be hung!

[count-your-change]

I’d like to know what stocks the congressmen are buying.

[ClearCase_guy]

I will be very surprised if a deal takes place.

The way I see it, if there is failure to make a deal, Obama gets big tax hikes. Obama gets big cuts in Defense. The economy will suffer. The Republicans will get the blame.

Any proposed deal would have to be stupendously damaging for this country for Obama to have any interest in it at all.

[Son House]

Yes, while the Democrats are on the way to another downgrade, investors are seeking other options. Not entirely unexpected.

[Revel]

Or the Fed just created a bunch more money.

[steve86]

Futures were down -207 on Dow earlier today

That isn't true. Was a stale quote from last week.

Even if a deal occurs and the market pops, good chance this would be the exact top.

[Free Vulcan]

Nah, I’d say more light profit taking. That’s not buy action.

[RIghtwardHo]

Well of COURSE there is going to be a deal. Was there ever ANY doubt the GOP would stab us in the back yet again?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Let me just say: If you know it’s corrupt, why are you surprised when it’s corrupt? (rhetorical Q)

It is generally wrong to bet that TPTB will not do anything and everything they can to remain TPTB. And since there is no enforcement, it generally doesn’t matter.

And by the way, I am in no way disagreeing with you.

[Cementjungle]

I would think the markets would prefer no deal, since any “deal” is bound to be even more harmful to the country that what we have now.

[sickoflibs]

They know Republicans will give in. You must too,

[Sooth2222]

Or not take place...

I'm not sure that the Fiscal Cliff itself isn't better than whatever "agreement" that gang will come up with.

[SERKIT]

Anyone watching what Pelosi (or her family members) or Waters or Rangle are investing in today?

[Drill Thrawl]

It is way past time for this corrupt government to be removed.

[Graewoulf]

One thing is for sure: Boehner will cave-in.

Thus, it is a sure thing that Sobber of the House Boehner is NOT selling the market short.

[Lancey Howard]

Holder and his corrupt FBI will get right on this, I’m sure.

[Figment]

” Someone in Congress knows a deal is going to take place “

Someone or somemanys in congress should be facing some time in prison for this

[montag813]

Well to be honest, it is pretty much common sense to expect that SOME kind of ‘deal’ will be announced before midnight.
