Oh, come on, what do I know about the future?  All I can tell you is what I was told today when we went to a meeting of our broker.  He was terribly optimistic – noted that the market here is incredibly strong, that the shekel is second to the dollar, that we’re… well you know what an investment company would say….

But then the futurist came on to the stage and he had even bigger predictions – about the entire middle east, the connections with Saudi Arabia and so forth.  Despite my irony as to the motivations and the methodology I was optimistic.

Then this evening we’ve been getting a rockets from Gaza and the doubts came back.
