Taking profits and reducing your stock exposure is always wise at this time of
the year.May want to look at some oil companies not tied to the Middle East in
case of a supply disruption.

well, war does bring in profits....and i'm sure the specific industries that
supply the war machine in the US, russia and china will love an opportunity to
pick up some new cash flow.

That's why you should always use protection. And simple stops won't help in the
case of a geopolitical event. Example: If bombs drop over the weekend, your stop
would be executed at Monday's opening price, way below the stop price you had
set. Puts are much better, if you're approved for options orders. If you're not
approved, or feel underqualified for options, you could use a short ETF as
protection, but only for a day or two. Of course, such insurance comes at a
cost. If nothing bad happens, the ETF/put goes down, and that's your loss.

Not worried...
but wish it would happen
sooner rather than later...

What's better? Israel commencing a preemptive strike or waiting two years for
Iran to have a nuclear weapon?

By the way, Israel will not attack unless the US back them up.

Only through conflict is real change affected.

Proof? Iran consistantly has spoken of wiping Israel off the map and death to
the infidels (USA); all the while, supplying small arms and rockets to factions
in the Gaza strip, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan. . . meaning, the
words spoken by Iran pretty much have matched their actions.

Thus, the questions are: Isn't it likely that (the mulahs of) Iran would pursue
the intent of possessing nuclear weapons while maintaining internal political
power and increasing their military might? Further, wouldn't it be likely that
the day will come for Iran to practice what they preach . . . understanding that
life (as interpreted from the quran) in the hereafter is better than the
existance in body and soul on earth and it is their duty to expedite the day of
reckoning.

Does it really matter who will be responsible or considered to be at fault given
the current path in evidence?
