    The numbers of course lie first and foremost at what stands to hammer the markets. But Syria may yet flare up. My guess is that with a US strike on Syria, Hezbollah who are just itching to inflame the conflict further will lob some missiles into Israel who will inevitably retaliate which may draw Iran in. Then If France upps the ante with other initiatives then a conflagration may yet happen. It was only by a miracle that PM Cameron was halted from joining in the affray.

    Point being, the market may yet get hammered down further in the aftermath of what could still happen in the Middle East.

    Enjoy your weekend Al. We don’t do Labour Day here with our August Bank Holiday weekend being last week.

        I wonder what the blowback from the USA will be for the UK for not participating in this latest war party? France being called America’s oldest ally for a start? Yeuch! Harking back to the War of 1812? That’s funny. I am sure there will be some financial or other retribution such as intelligence not being shared at a crucial moment.
        I wonder if the UK is starting to distance itself from the current USA regime, along with many other nations, maybe for the reling class to align with the new winners when they emerge.

    The weapons industry needs another useless war. There is little hope of any other significant GDP growth. France & US both are producers. The spy agencies from Israel, US and other countries are stoking the flames by supporting rebels.
