One thing I have noticed so much lately is that the world appears to have gone completely crazy. I don’t just mean a small bit, but completely over the top crazy. For example oil prices fell yesterday when Iran was saying that they didn’t anticipate any military actions. Yet today they launched at least 9 missiles and explained that their finger was always on the trigger. They continue to call us the enemy yet they are the biggest importer of US made bras (yes I mean the women’s garment), and cigarettes. Basically while testing their missiles they still claim war is not coming, but be careful of them. That of course has the oil market bouncing all over the place.
Then we have th ongoing presidential race, and who said what, to whom, when, and on and on. To be honest I can’t keep up. I will probably want to pay attention say October, but not in July. Besides I am honest in the fact that I will vote based on who can make my life better, not what party they belong to.
Our stock market is a mess because the dollar is so weak, yet it’s weak due to US monetary policy. Policy that was put in place because the credit markets and housing markets are in shambles. So it feels like the world right now is at the “chicken and egg” stage.
So where do we go. I often think that it’s a cycle. This is a bad section, but it will get better. Those are my two cents for today. I know it’s not earth shattering, but it’s my thoughts!

I see things getting much worse before they get better. Unless there is a sudden drop in gas prices that problem is going to ripple and ripple and ripple.
Whoever we elect they have to deal with the idiots in the rest of the party. Don’t hope for much there.
