01[12:05] {Threei}  (US) Pres Obama said to be ready to make announcement tomorrow on gun control proposals brought to him by VP Biden - financial press- Obama is said to be considering up to 19 executive orders on guns that wont require Congressional approval. - Obama will also likely recommend stricter gun-control measures that require Congressional approval. - Some of Obamas recommendations are likely to go beyond narrow gun control, such as mental health issues.
01[12:06] {Threei}  Risk Is Off As Debt Ceiling Rhetoric Continues
01[12:06] {Threei}  - President Obama's forceful words on the debt ceiling fight and House Speaker Boehner's firm response yesterday morning continue to unsettle markets. With both sides seeming to entrench in their respective positions ahead of the ceiling, risk aversion is the order of the day. In his talk yesterday evening, Fed Chairman Bernanke struck a dovish tone, insisting once again that the Fed is still not out of ammunition. The DJIA is down 0.12%, the S&P500 is down 0.2% and the Nasdaq is down 0.48%.
01[12:07] {Threei}  any dove will look like a hungry bald eagle next to current Fed
01[12:08] {Threei}  - Most of the tech world is boiling with speculation about what Facebook is planning to talk about in its first major product event since going public. Rumors are all over the map, although several of the leading ideas are not very credible. Some say a phone or music service are in the offing, although Facebook would be very late to the game in both spheres. Search is also touted as a possibility, and Facebook executives have highlighted this as an essential area in the past. A major new e-commerce or content play are definite possibilities as well. Shares of FB are up 2% this morning.

01[13:15] {Threei}  Facebook CEO: Announcing new social search product named "Graph Search" - product event
01[13:15] {Threei}  - There are three pillars to the Facebook service: newsfeed and timeline are the first two pillars, we will be discussing the third, "Graph Search"
01[13:15] {Threei}  - Facebook includes friend connections, follow connections, photo tags, likes, comments. Indexing all this content so you can access it usefully is a hard problem.
01[13:15] {Threei}  - The search that we wanted to build is privacy-aware. You can only search for content that has been shared with you.
01[13:15] {Threei}  - Web search and graph search are really, really different. Graph search is designed to take a precise query and give you the answer.

01[13:29] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Plosser (hawk, non-voter): Fed stimulus measures may hurt consumers who are trying to repair their finances
01[13:29] {Threei}  ****Plosser repeats remarks from Jan 11th speech, Plosser stated:
01[13:29] {Threei}  - Aggressive monetary policy is unlikely to accelerate improvements in job market or help rebuild household wealth
01[13:29] {Threei}  - Would like the Fed to tighten monetary policy sooner than most of the rest of the FOMC
01[13:29] {Threei}  - Trying to boost economic stimulus could even prolong sluggishness in US consumption.
01[13:29] {Threei}  - US economy is growing at a moderate pace.
01[13:29] {Threei}  - Very easy monetary policy cannot overcome business uncertainty.
