No problem being too honest. I was nice about it but already contacted Twee to say what I think.

Allo mate!

1700 and 1750 look to be the zones again. Favour the ups, but would love anothe PB to saddle up.

I know the "new" buzzword is "fiscal cliff", but....come February at 16 trillion...it will be a drama all of us here will either be playing...or certainly, more than aware of. The press calls a situation what it wants...fiscal cliff...Grexit...Celtic Tiger...blah, blah and blah...but...fiscal cliff WILL cause volatility in the not too distant future.

[b]What are the options? Increase it like they did last time? As smoothly...
Well I have been around but managing positions with nothing to comment about ....

Too much drama for my taste. As you prolly know me by now. I don't believe in extremes markets all the time (manic or doom). Sure we have the "odd" recession/default or manic/bubble moves once every top and bottom of the economic cycle but the extreme moves are always shortlived and sooner rather than later the herd catch the trend. The other 99% of the time is just "normal" market behavior.

On the fiscal cliff "What are the options?" ...well for me are very clear. Just wait for the next 2 Quarters steady growth in the US and 99% of the short term doomers will evaporate. Why? As soon as economic output recovers, tax revenues will increase, plus the excessive public expending (despite Obama) of the last few years to avoid collapse will crowd out to the private sector.

Very short term on the knee jerk conversations and the automatic triggers for January. What are the options?. Again, despite all the end of the world doomers and the post election hangover Republicans, I don't have the slightest doubt that they will reach an agreement (prolly under the table but an agreement). Raising taxes (well not raising taxes more not renewing the tax cuts better said) is a done deal. On the cuts, there is plenty to bargain but election is over, meaning Obama Administration can adjust some of the "electoral" extra expenses (that every reelection government in the world make) of the last year.

Prolly the most important savings will come from the indirect cost on the US withdrawing for two massive wars. Especially the most cost inefficient war ever. The richest nation in the word expend over + hundred billion dollars without counting of US soldier lives (and tens of thousands Afgan civilians) , + 10 years to attack the 2nd poorest nation in the world to end up in a draw?? (that's been optimistic) negotiating the exit plan with the same Taliban that supposedly were the bad guys we needed to get ride off.... ...lol ... In any case, from a public budget perspective it will be important.

In simple words, the mid term solution is already on the making. Need a couple more Q with decent numbers, politics out of the equation, and US politicians agreeing (prolly under the table) the technicalities for the next fiscal year. The long term solution, well that is far very far not only in time but also for any solution but that's for the next generations to solve... Paraphrasing Keynes ...who cares in the long term we are all be dead...

Oil and European indices closed some already inside of strong support areas (Ftse, Fesx) and some other only a few ticks away (Dax and CAC). However key ES holding on air a dozen points away from very strong Support 1361.xx (fadable mid term for the continuation). Lots of air intraday for tomorrow for a very red weekly close that can actually mark the last bottom of the year.

Gold like always leading in key turning points already turning around killing "soft" stops on the highs (entering in consolidation...
1343 is the next.. i think we go down... but after we find a level the u.s. will be in better shape then most.. japan and Europe will be in worse shape. they will have to print just to keep up with current obligations.. the main reason is energy.. it will make producing anything cheaper in the u.s. then even Asia. Even with higher labor cost. It means the u.s. exporting finished product. that will make the difference in pricing u.s. products more competitive. it will mean the world wanting to set up manufacturing in the u.s.

this will lower trade deficit.. we will buy less foreign oil. plus export the higher priced finished products. and still produce the food the world needs.. we have energy and raw materials. something the others have less of.. the new energy (cheap ng/oil) being discovered here are a game changer.
