Have a great trip, Sam! I wouldn't worry too much about the arabs, and I wouldn't cash in too much stock either if I were you....

I figure if the Middle East is stabilized and terrorists are destroyed, or further weakened, the market could be great again. I like stocks anyway, usually prefer them as an investment vehicle.

I will get back in when things seem a little more settled. Am somewhat worried about the (short term) effects on the market by another successful Al Qaeda mission, though I feel that Bush's prosecution of the war on terrorism, (Iraq is part of it) will mitigate them.

At the moment am just being prudent, probably will not cash out completely, just want to be less committed in that direction.
