itly s new prime minister today began to put together his new government. mario monti took over following the resignation of silvio berlusconi. he will try to overhaul an ailing economy and restore the market confidence. he has pledge to act with a sense of urgency. at home, the stocks were down today. the dow lost 75. s&p 500 gave back 12. the nasdaq closed 21.5 behind. the panel will will try to keep the u.s. economy from going down the same road as much as europe is supposed to have its reputatio it ready nex. we look to see if superobservers think they can get it done. nine days before the deadline to find $1.2 trillion in savings, the house majority meter expressed optimism. i don t think the sequester will be applicable.
