Don't worry the crowd gets this...it is just unable to act on it.

The other thing that is true and you probably will not believe it because it is very counterintuitive...Macro does not matter.

CNBC and Bloomberg and panic machine, how else would someone be watching their boring 24/7 repetitive stuff
and
Bernanke took budget discussion and named them "fiscal-cliff". there is no cliff. the deficit is a long-long slope and NOTHING changes over night. Well... he got more TV time than he ever dreamed, and so do these nothing-politicians
The and all these nothing-politicians know that investors remember "black Tuesdays" and will throw them and their friends to the garbage pile of has-been-nothings

How can both the possibility that the "Fiscal Cliff" will be averted and the possibility that it won't be averted both be priced in to the market. Unless the market in general can predict every nuanced decision of the Fed, the Whitehouse and Congress (among a few of the worldwide decision makers), then this is patent nonsense. It suggests that the market always gets it right. Of course, why this doesn't explain the crash of 2008-2009 would seem a mystery then.

Clearly "the market" with its finger on many pulses still has considerable room for a diversity of opinion about what will happen next and not everything is known, even by those with "the inside story".
