Stratfor On The Libyan War

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/stratfor-libyan-war
 
Took a bit more off the plate today. Something I haven't mentioned in my blog that could be a factor the next week or so is end of quarter window dressing. I'm not saying we'll see another rally by month's end (which is getting close), but it could be another factor in addition to all the other indicators like our sentiment survey. We were due for some give back after the last 3 trading days, so today's modest-moderate decline should not be a surprise.

I won't reduce my stock exposure beyond the 50% I have right now unless something crazy happens, and after what we've seen the past few weeks, I don't what that could possibly be.
