OK, I’m watching the stock market today. It closed with a 400 point loss on Friday, so who knows what will happen this morning? Let’s see…5 minutes into the trading day and it’s up 45 points. Oops! Now it’s down to +16. It’s going to be a long day.
And the basis for all of this profit and loss is oil. I’m going to mention the book, Discovery! once again. It’s a great book if you want to get a handle on the complexities of the Saudi – American relationship. And from what I’ve read and observed (from a distance), the Saudi’s are still entrenched in tribalism and ignorance; just as they were 70 years ago. Wealth does not necessarily bring happiness or equality to a nation.
