'Fiscal cliff' setback shaves 200 points off Dow
Stocks are down nearly 1. 4 percent as a setback in talks to avert the looming "fiscal cliff" have rattled investors. The S&P 500 is having its biggest drop since November 7. Richard Drew / AP Specialist Anthony Rinaldi works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. Stocks were sharply lower as a setback in talks to avert the looming "fiscal cliff" rattles investors. Speaker Boehner said in a press conference this morning that the failure to vote on the tax bill was not the outcome he wanted. "Unless the President and Congress take action," Boehner said, "tax rates will go up on every American taxpayer and devastating defense cuts will go into effect in 10 days." But he did leave the door open to working with Democrats on the problem.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
