As you know, I am a firm believer that our current economic environment is driven by forces that are global. Due to the significance of world political events we must be aware of the issues facing each sphere of the world. I am struck by how stunningly fast geopolitical changes are happening everywhere. As a result of the pace of change, it is important to use excellent resources to understand the climate in these places.
With an armed military force of more than 1 million and of course at least 6 nuclear weapons, all of us should be watching North Korea. Please examine this short video about the death of North Korea's leader and the transition to power of his son, Kim Jong Uhn by Stratfor.
Kim Jong Il Update
Like the global elite everywhere, remaining in power is the only thing that matters. I don't think it will be long before Kim Jong Uhn needs to demonstrate his power and authority on a global stage.

Just thought I would share what the perspective is becoming as market participants are becoming more and more.....realistic. I will try to cut and paste a few items I've seen over the last week where I've noticed that big players are really putting a sour note out without any reservations. I've seen a few Tweets from Bill Gross and the other Pimco guys that have been well, downright caustic and negative. Could this be a time to go long? I doubt it. Sometimes, the crowd is correct even when all of them are negative.
