You can't win them all.

[Zeo]

Don't panic sell.  even if you lose inflation wise, hold you stocks so you don;t actualize real losses.

Lesson of the day here is

1. You can;t predict when a madman is gonna start a war, but every half century is a good start.
2. Oil is a long term loss, should be avoided like the plague.  Why people don;t know this is beyond me.
