What’s Right with Ransom: Ransom talks about the monumental impact of Obamacare’s implementation:

Big Three:

Number Three:

Despite all the commotion in the news about the US Debt “negotiations” (can you call them that when only one side is compromising?) the Markets may have already priced in a solution. No-one believes there will ultimately be a default. At least that’s the general feeling on Wall Street.

Number Two:

Of course, that optimisim is based on the assumption that DC is made up of rational people. Over the weekend, Boehner tried to surrender compromise with Democrats numerous times. . .

And each time he was rejected by our non-negotiating President. Steve Forbes pointed this out on Bloomberg this morning.

Number One:

Now – looking away from the idiocy of DC – how’s the economy positioning the market for the rest of the year? Based on fundamentals (and not media-driven DC-drama) it. . . um. . . could look better. . .
