The equity time bomb has starting ticking, and investors may have just a small window to ride it before things blow up.
With a name like Dr. Doom, we’ve come to rely on Nouriel Roubini to lay the gloom on pretty thick.
But this week he tossed in a little sweet with his sour…
He’s actually advising people to buy stocks.
Roubini is the same economist who warned of the S&P dropping to [...]

“Until there’s some agreement on revenue I think we should go ahead with the sequester,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told reporters on Capitol Hill. Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, told reporters: “The spending cuts [...]

Well here we go. Let the countdown begin. China’s fourth quarter GDP numberscome out on Friday. We reckon most of the run up in the All Ords to 4751 has been in anticipation of good news. If form holds, stocks will trade down once the news is in.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/fed-now-sides-with-unemployed-2012-12-12?dist=countdown
Here’s the skinny on this…

here is no Fiscal Cliff deal yet, because there’s too much time until the countdown.
Unlike with the debt ceiling, where it really did look like there was an intractable disagreement between the two sides, in this case, the endgame for both is fairly easy to imagine. Taxes stay low for most people. Some spending cuts are made now, and others are made in the form of entitlement tweaks that kick in way [...]

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Automatic spending cuts set to begin in January would have a “devastating” effect on both defense and domestic programs, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget said in a report on Friday. Under a law signed by President Barack Obama in August 2011, spending would be reduced by $109 billion a year through fiscal 2021 if the White House and Congress can’t work out a deficit [...]
The kneejerk short covering reaction to Draghi’s remark that he will do “anything to preserve the euro” (this must be news because yesterday the ECB would not do anything to preserve the euro supposedly) is over.

Government (intervention) rarely prevents financial collapses — they almost invariably intervene only AFTER the collapse has struck (and) for the first time in modern history, governments themselves are in need of the giant bailouts

take risks that, in prior eras, would have been deemed wildly imprudent

The extent to which the latest Spanish bank bailout is coming without strings — a key claim made by the Spanish government — is in question.

In return for subsidized rates, Spain cede sovereignty over its financial system, but also lose tax sovereignty, contrary to what the Government said yesterday.
Meanwhile. Analyst skepticism is growing.

She tells Greek coalition parties that all bailout loans will be completely removed if they don’t impose extreme austerity on the Greek people:
Ministers in Berlin warned that they would withhold international aid to Greece in a move which could trigger a fresh, damaging countdown to default in Athens.
Amid escalating anger in Berlin over the anti-euro backlash following elections in Athens, Greece will on Thursday receive a €4.2bn (£3.4bn) cash injection [...]

The results of the elections in France and Greece have made it abundantly clear that there is a tremendous backlash against the austerity approach that Germany has been pushing. All over Europe, prominent politicians and incumbent political parties are being voted out. In fact, Nicolas Sarkozy has become the 11th leader of a European nation to be defeated in an election since 2008. We have seen governments fall in [...]

The countdown to armadebtdon carries on and we are just 3 days away from the debt ceiling deadline. If a discussion is not reached will the US lose its AAA rating?
