    The run of late-day market declines looks so familiar to the action of 5 years ago that Art Cashin dug out a note of his from November 2007. "Like playing poker ... you can bluff and posture ... (but) old traders see the final minutes of trading as truth time ... everything up until then is stage play. That's why the action in the final 30 minutes ... is of concern."

    (I'm an old trader--the boot on the neck of business is of concern)

  • Just guessing, but the next job report could be terrible. That would be (or should be) truth time. Of course, part-time and holiday hiring may factor in. (and imho, everything Art Cashin says is worth listening to.)

  • It's clear that regardless of what the Congress does or does not do 2013 will be the worst year of the recession. Simply this is because Europe is in deep recession and since it is a structural problem as too competitiveness in Spain and Greece it can't be solved by bailouts. This in turn shrinks GDP in China (Europe is its biggest market) and that in turn shrinks commodity economies. The glut of energy in the world is now apparent exploding once and for all the "energy crisis" myth and points towards an eventual reflation but not for the next 12 months. The USA will survive but there will be a complete realignment of politics here as the demographic shift ends forever the Republican extreme conservative influence unless they shift to a libertarian footing and learn how to respect women's rights and minorities. As a Centrist myself I long for a new common sense party that solves problems and stays out of people's personal life. Where the heck is Ross Perot? Get it?

  • Seer,
    What is your take on a guy like Huntsman? I had the pleasure of hearing him speak and enjoyed it.

  • Huntsman was a RINO - I am conservative and I would never vote for him for anything. He flip-flopped in Utah - governed as a liberal, gave a $1.6 billion state surplus - essentially to the Utah Education Association in pay increases, etc. His dad is much more to my liking.

  • If the stock market really drops hard in the coming months, Art'll come back to CNBC and say "I told you so in 11/2012." But if it does not, nobody will remember he ever said what he said.

    That's how people like Art get such a good reputation.
