reading folks much closer to the situation and smarter than I. Been reading lots of sources for the past two days. The political players don't know what to do. That's what's pathetic. George Soros just made a gargantuam sum of money. The Market tanked. Spain is nipping at Gibralter again, Ireland wants to unite and secede, Scotland is .... do your own research.

Also be good to check out what's happening on the continent, too. All kinds of uncertainty.

And when that happens, it's not the 1%ers who gets hurt. But I'm sure you already know that. Ever heard of Deflation? Be good to look it up.

Just do some reading...I don't have the time or desire to "educate" anyone.
