Pride Goeth Before A Fall

As you might expect I have a not-so-generic view on geopolitcs that is over most people's heads. I tried to integrate those views into a graphical geopolitical "mood meter" at one time. but the volatility of world affairs lately has made the thing all but useless (my current summary of the mood meter's readings is something like: "we're all screwed, but we'll be so doped up when the news finally hits that we wont care.")

A precipitous drop in the price of oil for the past three days suggests that everybody in the financial industry is expecting a near-Apocalyptic event in the coming weeks. Granted, the sharing of Insider Information is the pariah of actuary, but the fact of the matter is that it happens all the time, and the signs are all too ominous.

Obviously I'm no expert, but it's looking an awful lot like rain. Better carry an umbrella! --Mattergy
