01[09:56] {Threei} finally!
01[09:56] {Threei} I missed them so much

01[09:57] {Threei} Obama: but I have mandate, I won
01[09:58] {Threei} Boehner: but we won too, and campaigned on our promise
01[09:58] {Threei} stallmate continues, until compromise will be struck on last minute and on the ugliest terms possible
[09:59] {Les} curious to see if Armstrong's model for rise of 3rd party in 2016
[09:59] {Les} works out
01[09:59] {Threei} so, if people vote themselves what they want, all this election cycle shows is that they want more of gridlock

[10:01] {ese} tks
01[10:02] {Threei} except fiscal cliff scenario - that one both economy andf market see as bad
01[10:04] {Threei} so, to sum the election, let me repeat:
01[10:04] {Threei} Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups
[10:04] {nemo} DIS weak on this market climb

01[10:06] {Threei} consolation, Beau: it's a very large group and includes both sides of political divide:)
[10:06] {ese} spend that one extra dollar on another drink when you've already had 15..........and..........well .....you figure it out
[10:07] {nemo} might want to watch DIS here if it rejects 47
[10:07] {Les} personal experience? :)

01[13:14] {Threei} (US) President Obama confirms invitation of Congressional leaders to White House to address fiscal cliff; wants to bring business and civic leaders to Washington to get their ideas
01[13:14] {Threei} - Would like to see a plan that reduces the deficit in a 'balanced' way; would like to see focus on infrastructure
01[13:14] {Threei} - Must combine spending cuts with increased revenue (including asking wealthy Americans to pay more in taxes, mentions the $250K threshold); must bring down costs of medicare
01[13:14] {Threei} - Would like to bring down deficit by $4T over the next decade; not 'wedded' to every detail of plan, but will not accept any plan that is not balanced }
01[13:14] {Threei} - On election day, the majority Americans agreed with approach
01[13:14] {Threei} - Encouraged by the House Speaker comments that he is open to revenues
01[13:15] {Threei} two hot air speeches from each side
01[13:16] {Threei} zero substance
[13:16] {nemo} 4T? it's 1.4T a year, how the hell does he expect to do that? That means he has to run surpluses
[13:16] {nemo} NFW!!!
01[13:16] {Threei} hehe
[13:16] {nemo} UFB
01[13:17] {Threei} this is after borrowing 1.1 - 1.3T each year of the first term
01[13:17] {Threei} my firm bet is, the same rate of borrowing for the next 4 yearsm, around 1T annually
01[13:18] {Threei} which takes me to that 20T in 2016
01[13:19] {Threei} it's simple really: we have about 30% of annual govt expenses borrowed; govt spending is the only thing that keeps GDP growing, even so weakly;
01[13:19] {Threei} stop borrowing, boom - instant recession
[13:19] {Will49} keep borrowing...death by athousnd cuts
01[13:20] {Threei} yup
01[13:20] {Threei} keep borrowing - get closer to the moment when bond byers go on strike
01[13:20] {Threei} they buy willingly still because US is the skinniest girl in a fat camp
[13:21] {Will49} nice visual
01[13:21] {Threei} then you have Fed as the only bond buyer,
[13:21] {nemo} yeah, and she'll have to get down on her knees soon
01[13:21] {Threei} and then you face printing as the only way to extinguish debt
[13:21] {Will49} another nice visual
01[13:21] {Threei} well, that or default
01[13:22] {Threei} one is horrible inflation, another is horrible deflation
01[13:22] {Threei} good governing folks
01[13:22] {Threei} and that goes for both, democrats and republicans

01[15:15] {Threei} Sony's credit rating heads toward junk pile Japan's electronics sector is reeling, gov't minister says no bailout is coming.
01[15:15] {Threei} Just over a week ago, we reported that Sharp, one of Japan�s biggest electronics firms, may be set to go under. We also noted how other Japanese tech mega-corporations, including Panasonic and Sony, aren�t doing too well either. After Sharp posted its most recent loss, its financial rating fell to junk status, and the company is now seeking a government bailout. Panasonic was also hit with a near-junk rating by Fitch earlier this month, after it posted a loss 30 times larger than analysts had estimated.
01[15:15] {Threei} Sony�the biggest of Japan�s big dogs�can�t escape the bad news either. On Friday, Moody's downgraded Sony�s long-term debt rating from Baa2 to Baa3, one notch above junk status. This marks the second time in a month Sony has been hit with a downgrade.
