Russel 2000 might start to crack because of fiscal cliff

Let me state something else that is obvious:
The russell 2000 may go up
or worse, the russell 2000 may do nothing

In short, you provide nothing of value and your advice is worthless.

 

it starts to break down now, but the volatility still low to be worried about anything strong

 

The Russell 2k is going to lead us lower. It failed to reach recent highs like the other indexes and for good reason. The R2k is reflecting how the small(er) businessman can't succeed in this economy. They're choked out by the uncertainty and their customer base hasn't the cash flow to support small business.
