Apple Weight Recap: • Look to $525 as next key support level to gauge direction. • Strong IPHONE 5 and IPAD mini sales could help Apple rebound.
Fiscal Cliff Recap • Automatic tax increases, spending cuts, and corresponding reduction in the deficit set to go into effect Jan.2013 • 19.6% increase in taxes • 2013 Deficit would be cut in half. • U.S. GDP would decrease by roughly 3%, sending us into a Recession.
Debt Problem at Center • U.S. Debt Now at 16 Trillion. • Last 4 Deficits have been over 1 Trill. For first time ever • Debt to GDP ratio approaching 100%
A Million, A billion, A trillion? If you Counted backward, then: 1 million seconds= 12 Days ago 1 Billion= 31 Years ago 1 Trillion= 30,000 B.C. So Current Debt takes us back to 480,000 B.C.
Another Way to measure 16 Trill. Age of universe= ? 14.6 Billion years old U.S. Debt at 16 Trillion is…. U.S. debt is 1,000 times the age of the Universe!
