Eurozone !!!   Believe it or not. it’s still a major factor. 

看来我们以前讲的年底冲刺没有了。  现在hold 和 buy in的收益远远大于空仓。 我们现在是乘bond涨股票跌的时间， 把bond 换回股票。 慢慢搞有的是时间。 今年目标也下调了。没几天了， 只能力求保八了。

Eurozone fears once again are keeping stocks in the red at midday.
The Ifo Institute today cautioned of extremely high macroeconomic uncertainty in the European Union, causing difficulty in creating economic outlooks. That said, the agency forecasts Germany's 2012 economic growth to slow to 0.4% in 2012 and gross domestic product to drop to a 3.0% increase in 2011 compared with a 3.7% gain in 2010, indicating recessionary risks continue to pressure one of the EU's strongest nations.
Meanwhile, Germany's Bundesbank said it would offer a EUR 45 billion contribution to the International Monetary Fund as part of last week's agreement among EU officials to lift the IMF's loan purse to EUR 200 billion. However, Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann stated that certain conditions must be met--such as not using the money for sovereign debt bailouts of other EU nations--for Germany to complete the loan.
Fears in the eurozone sent the currency below the $1.30 exchange-rate level for the first time in 11 months, indicating that euro debt woes are increasing and that general sentiment of euro-denominated assets continues to dwindle.
In the United States, the Labor Department reported that a 3.6% increase in petroleum prices last month allowed overall November import prices to rise by 0.7%, the largest month-over-month gain in seven months. However, the gain was still less than the expected 1.1% reading, and minus petroleum, prices fell by 0.2% compared with October's tally. The sharp increase last month has some keeping a close eye on inflationary pressures.
