A spike in the price of crude could derail the DOW ship. We know Bernank isn't going to raise rates thru the election.

You want my strongest warning yet? If you are heavily into risk assets (read stocks), protect yourself NOW. We are at the peak. I feel it in my bones. Could be, been a hell of a run since last March. I'm a little hedged right now, and generally add more protection into the summer months. I doubt a recession is in the cards in the near term. But if Israel attacks Iran, all bets are off. And I think that's a distinct possibility.
