Not the Dow. They are key reversals as well since the highs were above the previous week and then closed below. President Obama decides to wait on Syria so oil may drop and equities may experience a small relief rally. When Kerry was talking on Friday scaring everyone, oil was moving up and equities down, so the VST move may favor oil bears and equity bulls.Keystone Speculatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343512310307344717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084606426992105990.post-52204625012787706312013-09-01T09:55:34.658-04:002013-09-01T09:55:34.658-04:00I agree with most of what you're saying. The o...I agree with most of what you're saying. The one thing that I'd revise and extend is the part about Russia. The U.S.A. and most of its Western allies has been living in Utopia for the past decade or so. The west speaks of the cold war in historical terms, as something that was then, not now. There was a brief period beginning with Gorbachev where the Cold War appeared to thaw. Naively, Americans thought it was over. The truth is that the 'Soviets' had been 'Soviets' for so long that they didn't exactly know how to make anything else work. Putin and his cronies are old-style Kremlin in their thinking. They're not exactly chummy with the west and have been gradually going through re-freeze over the past decade. The U.S.A. wants to naively pretend that Russia is a friend, but there is no such thing. Notice how Russia backs any country that presents itself as unfriendly to the U.S., be it Libya, Syria, Iran, or even North Korea. The day is coming when one of these "little" countries is going to take a crack shot at the U.S.A. And we're all going to be wondering how they did it. Russia that's how! The point that I'm trying to make is simply that there's a much larger game at stake. Don't get me wrong. I think an attack on Syria is STUPID BEYOND belief. But it's NOT the U.S. vs. Syria. It's the U.S. vs. Syria-Russia. It's the emergence of a very old conflict. All the while Russia is quietly gaining power/influence. At the same time, the U.S. is gradually waning, thanks to flawed thinking, corrupted banksters, and miserable leadership. Set aside for a minute anything else about Obama. Just look at this single issue: Syria. He painted himself into a corner and now he's made himself appear like the weakest most indecisive leader possible. I'm not the Obama-hater. I actually like a lot of the stuff that he's tried to do, but on this he's weak. He's Commander and Chief. A good leader doesn't need to ask for permission. Grant it, I think he's dead wrong. But right now, he's not leading, he's dissenting. And in era of waning influence, he emboldens our allies. <br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084606426992105990.post-71727720487263824642013-09-01T05:23:17.922-04:002013-09-01T05:23:17.922-04:00hello KS!

If you think deeper, you'll know what I mean and look back in history...<br />SPX tends to be higher or gain after the strike.<br /><br />Third, base of "War of Arts", if US make the first move to strike Syria, then they are STUPID!!! <br />The U.K. back off and French says "attack on Syria strike could come by Wednesday".<br /> <br />The French very smart, they just speak, US makes the move because US wants to be the leader...that's dumb!<br /> <br />Finally, who's winning?

For oil, that makes sense, oil is basically rising on the worrisome news, and moving lower as the fears abate. This situation is different since it is really not the start of a war, it is a strike action for now. There are also a lot of other plates spinning in the air. If an India currency crisis, or Brazil, or Indonesia, or others, hits, Syria will not matter. Syria may not be that big of a deal for markets, unfortunately, everyone starts to become numb to this type of stuff. The U.S. is now an exporter of energy when years ago we were not. North America is rich in oil and gas now and not as reliant on the Middle East. And Syria is not critical to the oil industry. Oil traders are more worried about spill over affects to the important areas like Iraq, Suez Canal, Turkey pipeline, and so forth.

Your...http://donlehmanjr.com/Articles/article1.htm<br /><br />Your life is shaped, controlled by the society which you have created. You have created the wars, the leaders; you have created the organized religions of which you are now slaves. So your life is predetermined. And to be free, you must first be aware that your life is predetermined, that it is conditioned, that all your responses are more or less the same as those of everybody else throughout the world. Superficially your responses may be different; you may respond one way here, another way in India or in China, and so on, but fundamentally you are held in the framework of your particular conditioning, and you are never an individual. Therefore it is absurd to talk about freedom and self-determination. You can choose between blue cloth and red cloth, and that is about all; your freedom is on that level. If you go into it very deeply, you will find that you are not an individual at all.<br /><br />But in going into it very deeply, you will also find that you can be free from all this conditioning -as a German, as a Catholic, as a Hindu, as a believer or a nonbeliever. You can be free from it all. Then you will know what it is to have an innocent mind, and it is only such a mind that can find out what is truth.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178732477945523027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084606426992105990.post-61435225099464781032013-08-30T14:07:21.063-04:002013-08-30T14:07:21.063-04:00President Barack Obama will deliver prepared remar...President Barack Obama will deliver prepared remarks on Syria at approximately 2:15 p.m. ET, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926758254958796505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084606426992105990.post-89095690378333200192013-08-30T14:02:29.975-04:002013-08-30T14:02:29.975-04:00who said I PARTICIPATED IN WARS
