Most forecasts have wiggle room. Not the following. 1. The United States government will default. I hold the first position. John T. Harvey holds the second.

Isn’t it all tied up nicely in a bow with the Romney/Ryan ticket? No. Why would the GOP be scared of Ron Paul but end up nominating him? I’ll explain.

By obvious, I simply mean it was due after a pretty hectic selloff, but with the poor close Tuesday it was not necessarily obvious that it would begin in the overnight futures session. A negative open yesterday would have created a low risk ‘trade’ – unfortunately, the market did not give that opportunity. This morning futures continue the bounce.
