    You do realize that these assholes are why there are refugees in the first place? Who do you think they’re trying to get away from?

    Watch for signs this turns out to be a large enough conflict to affect world economy- if so Fed may take rate hike off table. Off table rate hike to me means
    gold stocks and gold etfs. Gold has dropped enough to take a flier on anyway imho as rate hike may be mostly priced in so if rate hike is off table, things like NUGT could rocket. Then again, if euro dies and dollar gets even stronger…

    [quote=flyer]Imo, as these horrific events continue to happen, more and more borders will be sealed, making immigration even more difficult for all.

    Aside from the political and financial aspects, we also feel a strong connection to France. My wife received one of her degrees from the Universite
    Paris-Sorbonne, and we spend time there almost every year. A very sad day in Paris.[/quote]

    Sad day for Paris, yes.

    Everything you have said about your wife, she is an amazing woman. A femme fantastique as the French would say.

    The French should just accept their diminished position in the world and stop playing super power. It’s not liberal or conservative, it’s visions of grandeur. Hollande is a socialist. So he will institute a state or emergency to attempt to inoculate himself politically. And that will hurt a very fragile economy. The Arab population will become more impoverished creating more disatisfaction. Unlike in the US where our immigrant populations can thrive in commerce, in France it’s all about the dirigiste establishment economy.

    It’s a no win situation for France. Maybe short French companies?

    Or go on a vacation to France to take advantage of low hotel rates. There will be less tourists.

    I don’t really get what Assad did to us. Sounds like we support the rebels/revolutionaries (at least 1/2 of whom are ISIS or we just don’t know) simply because Syria is part of the Iran-Russia coalition.

    It’ll be interesting to see what kind of rage putin will unleash in response to the downed plane in egypt. I agree that us humans are stupid. We just can’t leave good enough alone.

    France’s first airstrikes in Iraq against ISIS were Sept. 19th 2014.

    Putin I can see putting boots on the ground but will an enraged France just mean more missile strikes and drone attacks?

    People become more careful in the face of economic uncertainty. We got a great deal on a house with a contract entered into in October 2001. Be bold and have confidence this event will not chsnge snything fundamental. Curious to see where the Dow goes on Monday. Any bets?

    I can’t believe we’ve been just handing Syria over to ISIS just like that.
    Middle Easterners need a dictator in there to crack skulls, throw people off buildings, and chop off heads when they don’t listen. If you’re a leader you don’t do that, they see you as a pussy, and look how they treat their women.
    Then the US casts any rebels in the area like their Jedi Knights fighting the Imperials, when in reality we’ve got no idea who were funding and supplying weapons to. Democracy isn’t going to work over there.

    I don’t know who the attackers were, but does anyone else see the high unemployment rates among youth leading to more problems in Europe? Look at these numbers:
    http://www.tradingeconomics.com/france/youth-unemployment-rate

    France has near 25% unemployment of youth. Some are worst like Italy and Spain. France also has a lot of islamic immigrants I think leading to some possibly leaving France to Syria to train, then coming home to cause these attacks.

    Unemployed men in a sad state of mind with no gf/wife (useless men, who wants them?) leads to violence, radicalization, crime, you name it.

    I actually fear America would/could be ending up like this considering how tough the job market is nowadays for a lot of people…even with degrees…

    In a global economy, most jobs are now viewed as an unnecessary cost center and in a race to the bottom, (all the retailers did poor just lately) and Amazon killing everyone with little retail profits (those come from AWS), I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there were more violence in 20-30 years. Maybe even 10 if things were bad enough.

    The whole situation in the middle east has been going on for thousands of years…I don’t think anyone is going to be solving it anytime soon.

    The US could’ve ignored Kuwait like they ignore things going on in the past, but that leads to pretty horrid atrocities:

    It’s easy to turn a blindeye, but there are no good solutions.

    France was promised retribution for interfering in Mali’s civil war too.

    Well. Jeez. That’s a little strong.

    EPV. Proshares short etf.

    Shorting the dow on 9/12/01 was a no Brainer I missed. Not sure this is comparable. How big is this? For some reason I feel it could be really bad …

    Is it really any different from day to day capitalism?
