Here is the article

Those are two very good articles, Adam, one on Korea and one on the Mideast. The tension is growing in both places.
That Debka report on Iran sending ships to break the Gaza blockade is interesting, but I can't seem to find much confirmation in the mainstream media, so I tend to be a bit suspicious of it. It may be just bluster by Ahmadinejad, who is very good at bluster.
However, if the Debka report DOES turn out to be true, we should be seeing some real fireworks within a couple of days.
I've been out of touch most of today, but I see that the Dow went up 273 points. This undoubtedly caused wild cheering among the financial pundits on CNBC today, but these wild swings are very ominous. Day traders really love this high volatility, because they're basically gamblers at heart, but it would take only a major piece of bad news to cause a major plunge.
