I quit! - I think it was that there is a very real realization that the Middle East could go into some major turmoil. What could that mean for the rest of us? There are a LOT of people over there, they don't like Americans, and they would rather sell their oil to other countries like China. It begs the question, have we done our homework if the Middle East cuts us off, or partially cuts us off? It's not so much Beck, but Beck get's you thinking outside the box (I know, it's an over used term). So it forces you to consider, what happens if we don't have enough oil, how will that impact us? What will the world look like if Muslim Extremists are running Egypt, Syria, Libya, Yemen and the like? Will they look like Iran? Will Iran supply them all with Nukes? Will North Korea get in on the action?
Again, it's not so much Beck, it's what Beck get's you to think about that I think is important. Let's face it, I'm an opportunist, so I'm also looking at the markets and how this will affect investment opportunities as well. In these situations there are ways to profit from these scenarios. Just thinking about all these things.
Thanks for asking I quit!, I was looking for some genuine conversation, not a pissing match, I'm too busy for that. However, I do find it relaxing and enjoyable to engage former JW's and others on topics of interest after my work day is done.
