then what i think, dougie cass has been great in pointing this out.ve been enamored with the fiscal cliffs issues, we're not talking about margins compressing or earnings peaking. once we get by the fiscal cliff there is a chance that we start to focus on things that aren't so rosie either. so i'm not sure you should be buying the dip after the cliff. >> let's go up to sue. >> i was just going to follow up on that. what i'm hearing from people also, steve, is the fact that they're trying to reprice the risk but they're not sure exactly how to do it because of those very fundamentals that you just mentioned. we now have apple that's selling off on a regular basis. that's difficult for the market. earnings may have peaked indeed, and there are some fundamentals in some of these companies that don't look as good as they used to. how do you price risk in this market? what's riskier, the fundamentals or the fiscal cliff? >> yeah, it's terrible. that's the position a lot of these fund managers are in. but, sue, if you look at 57le, you brought it up. no one

also with us bob cass that and david corn of mother jones.what concern are the fluctuations in the market in this whole process? >> well, i'm not too worried about the short-term fluctuations. i think you saw the dow was down 120-odd points. i think it's been down more than 100 points five times in the last 30 days. when the dow is at 13,000, 100 points is not that big a deal. i'm not too kerped about the short-term variations. i am concerned about the long-term effects on the economy and i think that's a real concern that people are right to have. >> the asked the question because as you will recall in the fall of '08 there was that 775-point drop at a time when there was a vote against the bush bank bailout. robert costa, of what extent do you think that's a factor in all this? are those with whom you speak on capitol hill concerned about the market and its reaction? >> no, i speak to some sources close to leadership earlier today, and they expect when the house comes back next week and if the markets really start to fluctuate, boehner may
