Do I Sell?

The cliff isn't about dealing with the deficit, at least not directly. It's about preventing a massive tax rise in two weeks. The negotiations are about what those tax rises will be replaced with, and what level of income will avoid the tax rise. But the cliff talks are not really going to solve much with the deficit directly - there needs to be a lot more talks (and tax/entitlement reform) next year. Right now people are more worried about the recovery being derailed than the deficit.
