This really is a roller coaster - no big drop in pm price after announcement as everyone was predicting but a spike back up! This must mean the market is not impressed by the agreement but lets wait and see what happens once it has been all passed and signed off by Obama.
Not to mention the Dow crashing below 12000 to 11,866. Thank goodness the USA is going to increase it's debt by $2.5T, eh? Seems everyone has suddenly wised up to the fact that never-ending, accelerating levels of debt is not a good thing.
