Just before 10 PM we have a deal!  Reuters - The White House and congressional lawmakers have reached a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" that would delay harsh spending cuts by two months, Obama administration officials said on Monday.

Thank you WSJ.com, they have a special page on their website that provides live streaming coverage of the 'Fiscal Cliff' drama.

The last full week trading in 2012 was vexed by 'Fiscal Cliff' sorrows.  Its taking away everything from our equities.  Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel with large cap stocks, four in particular.   Mastery turns to  Anheuser Busch (BUD), Walt Disney Co. (DIS), The Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and McDonald's Corp. (MCD).

Another unbelievable week of witnessing the failure of comprise by the once most powerful country the United States of America.  Its beyond anything anyone living has ever experienced in the U.S. and it stinks bad.  However Mastery did find a few stocks to consider going long on including Verifone (PAY), Fuel Systems Solutions (FSYS), Chipotle (CMG), McDonalds (MCD), and Take-Two (TTWO).

He said, she said... none of us care Boehner.  You said $1 million, Obama countered with $400K, then the GOP dropped the ball.  We are moments away from the credit agencies downgrading the United States of America (again).  If that happens then stocks will really tank. 

If you haven't heard Plan B has been dropped and Dow Jones Futures are down 200 points.  Expect a terrible day and a kick in the pants for your 401(k), IRA's, and personal trading portfolios.  It's going to suck.

Once again we have no solution to avoid the U.S. 'Fiscal Cliff'.  Groundhog day continues.

The quote of the day came from Boehner himself:

Hold your breath until 12 PM today.  That's when we get word from House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) on the status of the 'Fiscal Cliff'.  Let's hope its good news and the market reacts as such.  However if it was a solid deal wouldn't President Obama be addressing the public?  Maybe he wants to let Boehner enjoy the spotlight?  Our questions will be answered soon and our equities depend on it.

The latest headline from Forbes says everything you need to know in one sentence -- Here's Your Update On The Fiscal Cliff Negotiations: Both Parties Agree That the Other Party's Proposal Stinks.  The madness continues and we are running out of time.

Bravo to 'The Simpsons' and their take on the 'Fiscal Cliff'.  An explanation by Mr. Burns is classy and actually -- makes total sense.
