All very sad. I wish Mohan would pay us a visit and give us the benefits of his insight here. To me one of the saddest parts of the whole business is the pathetic ineptitude of the US government and the idiotic notion of nuclear nonproliferation, as though the entire brain trust of the world were locked up in the Mojave desert and Siberian tundra. Similar to encryption technology controls. Back a tiger into a corner and chances are pretty good you'll come away with a scratch or two, ESPECIALLY if you hide your head and pretend he's not there. This is, of course, in addition to corruption bordering on treason (if not actually over the line) on the part of those high officials (who didn't inhale?) that have the responsibility of playing our part in it. Sorry, got carried away. As to those markets (Mohan, where are you), these large countries have proportionally tiny economies, especially in the high-tech sector. It's not so clear that there will be a large direct impact on the techs. Indirect effects and effects on markets (as opposed to industries) is another issue. Chances are pretty good there will be instability, which our foreign policy is highly likely to make worse. Now, aren't you sorry you asked? Spots
