The US markets were weak in light holiday trade.
The 'fiscal cliff' is unlikely to be resolved until January.
The markets may weaken a little more, but I think we have seen enough for today.
Merry Christmas!
"Who can remain standing, if they are merely standing on their own pride and self-interest? We must hold on to something greater than ourselves, better than ourselves, or we will surely fail to remain standing in the lawless winds that will soon be blowing across the land."
