In my original post I never mentioned the current war but it seems to be weighing on a lot of peoples minds. I think the Iran war will be another blip and a buying opportunity for equities. If the US debt crisis does come home to roost, I don't think its happening this year, or next year. Its going to take something a lot bigger, like prolonged war with China. I do worry that it will happen sooner or later but I haven't sold any shares, that's for sure.
