We are on election watch and much of the news we heard during the summer months about all the oil threats have died down.

With the stock market rallying because of our new found utopia, I couldn't help refocusing on the recent Time Magazine cover that I ignored as fear mongering by the media. Now that I have had time to read it however, the quote of "prepare to deploy orders" began to have new meaning.

The reason I did not think much of the article in the beginning was I didn't think the US administration would be bold enough to start another conflict since the two that we are currently involved in (Iraq and Afghanistan) are going so poorly.

I mean, really, what are the odds? Well, maybe the odds are better than I thought. If so, when will this happen and what are the ramifications for us and the stock market?
