"It's very, very serious," said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona. "Republicans have to understand we have lost this battle, as I predicted weeks ago, that we would not be able to win because we were demanding something that was not achievable."

The sudden turn toward pessimism came 15 days into a government shutdown and two days before the Treasury exhausts its borrowing authority. At this point, the arguments have devolved from a major partisan showdown over the fate of Mr. Obama's signature domestic achievement to issues reduced in scope: whether White House and Congressional staff members be denied employer contributions to purchase their health care; whether a tax on medical devices, opposed by lawmakers in both parties, should be repealed, delayed for two years, or left alone; and whether a tax on self-insurers - large businesses and unions - that enter the health insurance exchanges should remain in force.

But if the issues seem small, the fights - largely now within the Republican Party - seem to be raging unabated.

"We're trying to find a way forward in a bipartisan way that would continue to provide fairness to the American people under Obamacare," Mr. Boehner said, even as he acknowledged that "there are a lot of opinions" among his fractious members.

cfc nav means nothing without means of valuing a company, how can you compare?

[cfc1] 15/10/2013 14:56

gcom2- that's different NAV is the ONLY thing I really look at....
You guys are clearly a lot more intelligent than me....BUT I do sense a bargain when I see one and tend to pile into high risk (I like risk!) when I think the reward and chances of winning are good...guess that is built in!
