Due to President Obama’s new tax on big banks and equally significant news of a shift in power in the U.S. senate, the markets reacted accordingly this past week. Not being a politician, I certainly can’t forecast if any more news detrimental to the market place is on the horizon. I would expect not, since this kind of behavior could very well cause a huge set back in recovery from last years market lows.
