Not too much new here, but I am not really sure why we are up 1% today, possibly because it is becoming increasingly clear that we won’t have a stalemate in the presidential election? As I said this AM, I think we will likely go from a decisive victory tonight to a divisive “fiscal cliff” debate for the balance of the year in the Lame Duck Congress. I think there is a decent chance of near term weakness under this scenario.
