01[10:35] {Threei} lol... can you be,lieve that the whole "fiscal cliff" idea was born out of push to cut deficits?
01[10:36] {Threei} FCX obviously watched Star Trek
[10:36] {nemo} we won't cut spending until the bond market forces us
[10:36] {ese} does seem rather useless for sure
[10:36] {dino} you're right nemo
[10:36] {nemo} or until we lose reserve currency status
[10:36] {nemo} when you have to borrow in another currency, then you have issues
[10:36] {scottie} MAR two sided ?
01[10:37] {Threei} looks lie
01[10:37] {Threei} like
01[10:37] {Threei} yes but bond market has only two ways of forcing: sharp rate raise or refusla to lend at all
01[10:37] {Threei} both are catastrophic for US in today's state
[10:37] {dino} the rise is coming...
[10:37] {scottie} in .28

[10:38] {dptl} can we trail stop to .05 fcx?
01[10:39] {Threei} .06
01[10:39] {Threei} the only sensible way out of this is easing out by gradual spending cut and tax cut for small businesses - and both of these measures are against the ideological position of current administration
[10:39] {dptl} ok
[10:40] {dino} ese, we got about 16" of snow last week
01[10:40] {Threei} (GR) Greece Fin Min Stournaras: Greece will meet its 2013 budget targets

[11:38] {dptl} out btu .02
[11:40] {scottie} gj dp
01[11:42] {Threei} - While the tax component of the fiscal cliff has been resolved, the spending component still requires work. The compromise bill delayed the so-called "sequester" for two months while Congress works on a plan replace them. This means that Congress will be reckoning with the debt ceiling at the same time it decides on new spending cuts. President Obama has said Congress must raise the debt ceiling without concessions or debate, while the GOP have repeatedly threatened to extract more cuts in any debt ceiling vote.
01[11:42] {Threei} of course he did

01[14:43] {Threei} (US) Moody's comments on fiscal actions; expecting more fiscal action beyond recent deal- Notes that more measures will be necessary beyond recent fiscal cliff vote in order for the US to return to AAA rating. Package does not fix Govt statutory debt limit and does not show meaningful improvement in debt ratios over the medium term - Expecting debt limit to be eventually raised - Reminder: On Dec 26th Moody's stated that it was highly likely that US will eventually act to raise the debt limit; direction of US bond ratings most likely to be determined by the outcome of budget negotiations
