if you read these reports, its all positive and encouraging information. Personally I believe a solution will be found during the negotiations. This crisis will be averted in which the market trends will reverse to the upside. Markets will correct in a positive way once a deal is reached on the tax and government spending issues.

I strongly hope they increase the taxes on the wealthy and powerful. With the income and wages the rich receive, a better contribution to thier country is necessary for the welfare of the people.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)

The former House speaker is likely to be part of any fiscal cliff negotiations. In September, Pelosi told her fellow members of Congress that “the reason we have a problem here is because our Republican colleagues have refused to have one red cent from the wealthiest people in our country contribute to resolving this fiscal crisis, this budget crisis, not one red cent.”
