Keystone remains bearish on the broad markets looking for lower markets to start the year.  The mountain of Italy debt coming due is worrisome for markets.  A strong rebound should follow through the center of the year as quantitative easing comes into play. Once the stimulus punch bowl goes dry again after the Olympics and into the early Fall period, markets should stumble lower thru December 2012.  Keystone is looking for flat markets at best for 2012 and more likely a drop of 7% to 13% for 2012 for the SPX, obviously a highly bearish outlook compared to any other analyst.
