Dow is 130 pts off the high
does anyone have a brain left in the stock market?

more evidence to go to war versus Iraq means...

- more likely to see much higher oil prices in interim
- more uncertainty to creep into the economic picture
- more curiosity about Islamic counter-attacks in terrorism
- more federal spending and deficits to finance any conflict
- a war of unclear outcome, unclear cost, unclear duration

- but very clear damage to the US economy

maybe that is why the Dow and S&P came off the highs
but the dollar has begun to come off its intraday high also
from 100.1 to 99.8 now
