US Debt talks could derail the Market...

From  “Breakout” by Jeff Macke

Standard & Poors' announced that they would downgrade U.S. debt if the debt issue isn’t resolved almost immediately. They said they may downgrade the U.S. down a notch or two regardless of an agreement if the deal isn't aggressive enough.

Todd Schoenberger, Managing Director of LandColt Trading LLC says "traders right now know that they gotta get a deal done. If it's not done, markets will sell-off."

I couldn’t agree more...in the short term.  If the talks fail, there will be so much pressure on the Politicians they will reach an agreement.       

The Navigate the Stock Market analysis is neutral (Hold) today.

I remain 50% invested.  That is my fully invested position for the time being (until Debt issues are resolved).
