Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "I think investors have policy overload. They've been through the debt ceiling crisis, the supercommittee, the fiscal cliff, and by comparison, sequestration doesn't seem like it's much of a deal at all.

But they used discipline... to turn around their economies and become today's emerging markets."
