3. Despite what people think ...

... and what the talking heads blather about on CNBC, Wall Street is about placing bets to make money.

Up, down, sideways, it really isn't about who is president or whether or not it is colder today than yesterday -- the gamblers make micro-trades on stocks to make money; and they short to make money; and they trade to make commissions.

It rarely is about anything else. So, yesterday's gain and today's retreat (thus far) just means some gamblers are busy ... gambling.

4. I think Boehner's stupid comment last night caused it . . .

and the uncertainty of the fiscal cliff. Let's wait to see what that ass-wipe Beohner has to say later today in his press conference.
