I agree Bob. I think something is going to flare up re Ukraine. On gold, I still play the NUGT options...both ways...but with a bias to the upside. Lots of big intraday moves if you can sang 'em. NUGT is 3x Bullish Gold Miners Index and DUST is 3x bearish. I stick to NUGT, both ways. Also been enjoying the marijuana stocks...especially AERO. Not too late for this one, as it has had a pull back from its high and is consolidating/moving higher again. big

I don't think anything is going to happen in the Ukraine. First off, it is EXTREMELY important to the Russians. After all it is on their border and serves as a buffer between them and an attack from Europe. They are paranoid about that issue since they have been attacked regularly from Europe since the beginning of time. Then think of Crimea (as in Ella Fitzgerald, "Cry Me a River"). There is a river of oil and gas flowing through CryMeA and energy is their only business that is making money - the rest of their economy is in shambles. So it is all about pipes! Anyone with a knowledge of Eastern European history understands these issues. Unfortunately there is no evidence that anyone in our administration remembers anything from their history classes. in Jr. High nor did they have to take it in collage! Blessings, JRH
