I say sell in May and go away.    

what if a war kicks off in the middle east?  Iran sending troops into Syria and Israel doing airstrikes just seems to be escalating.

When our industrial strength was first in the world money injection worked.  Now money injection stimulates other economy structures as we continue to buy imported products.

what happened to the good ol days when polluting factories and annoying telemarketers supported millions of jobs so "Joe" could fill his tank for 20 bucks go to the sand dunes on the weekend and get so drunk he forgets about work and falls asleep at the campfire then wakes up and drives home to do it all over again next week?

Until this happens again, recovery will be for the big bussines not the poor man?

Thomas Freedmans book "the world is flat"  leads me to believe the poor in the west will only get poorer as other nations outcompete eachother for labor and manufacturing.  unfortunately, those in office and who fight bussines with regulations and taxes only make our country less competitive in the world market and decrease the amount of jobs available for "Joe".  

Also, the consumer and leftist visionaries have left his neighbor for dead by supporting companies and policies that removed the neighbors job for their own selfish and ignorant ways.

if Israel goes to war the faithful puppy dog USA will be right in there too

here is an interesting question for you all:

Why does every country Israel wants to bomb have a 'regime'...but every country it does business with has a "government"?

Dictionary.com for Regime

1. a mode or system of rule or government
2. a ruling or prevailing system.
3. a government in power.
4. the period during which a particular government or ruling system is in power.

The good guys have governments.
The bad guys have regimes.

Simple. The bad guys have oil, the good guys don't
