    Obama doesn't want to get involved in Syria right now. What a shock! Problem is there are 10 countries with real problems, not just Syria.

        If you make a bet on a stock, you believe the price will go up. If it also has a good dividend, you are that much more likely to make money.

            The Dept. of Agriculture is predicting a 25% drop in farm income in 2014 due to lower commodity prices. 1 in 12 jobs are farming. Trouble!

                        Most big tech companies have at least 20% of their business in the EU. EU recession deepening. Why a tech rally? Lower profitability coming!

                            AAPL is perhaps oversold. Perhaps it deserves to go up? But it reported a bad quarter. Showing weakness. IBM just a miserable quarter.

                                        Don't forget the EU recession deepened too; and France officially went into recession. EU ministers effectively told us Solvenia is next.

                                                    There was a big rise in US business inventories in Q1 2013. This could mean less hiring, etc. in months to come.
