I am bracing myself for what could be an ugly week. Dems and Republicans are fighting over insignificant sums of money in the overall scheme of things, however I suppose the theatre is to be expected. Will there be an increase to the debt ceiling, will there be another QE and will there be some form of republican sponsored debt reduction that will satisfy the Democrats and the unions. I Greece is imploding and confidence in the Euro is fading. Gold seems to be holding it's strength in spite of a strengthening US dollar. Uncharted territory not for the week of heart.
