>>Joe, is there a reason you chose to post this here rather than on the politics thread?<<
I guess because I read it and did not see it as being political. Many of us wonder if we will go to war or not. I guess some of you are not familiar with "Stratfor". I have never know them to be political. They tend to look at the facts and comment on possible strategies for whatever topic. Things that may affect world events and possibly the market. I would be curious as to what you read that you would think it should be on the politics board. To me it offers a "heads up" of what we may see unfold in the week or two ahead and the rational for the same. I copied it from Richard Russell of the Dow Theory piece. He included it for market reasons. I thought I would do the same. Sorry.
