In the spirit of the season, this evening I am heading off to the local theatre to help set up for a production of Nutcracker, so I'm going to do a post early and be done for the day.
What strikes me about the market right now is how NON-seriously people are taking the fiscal cliff. The assumption seems to be that there is a 100% chance that this thing is going to get solved just fine 'n' dandy, and not only that, but gee willikers, when an agreement is made, it's just going to be darned great for everybody.
