The problem with foreign policy is that it's a topic which everyone has an opinion on, but only a small number of people work in professionally. If anyone would like to E-mail or private message me with specific queries, I would be happy to give you official policy, context and my personal opinions based on 11 years experience abroad. Internet stocks - unless you have very deep pockets, why is anyone still holding shorts in these? Why not step out of the way and wait for them to break, even if you miss 10% or 20% at the top? Or just buy puts? Why sit around and get squeezed or bought in? I understand US foreign policy (for better or worse) but this I don't get.
