So let's talk about some of the things in the news. Oil prices are crashing. That's right, the price of oil is way down. It's good if you're a consumer. It's bad if you're in the oil industry or if you own oil stocks, as I do. So I can't tell you this is great for my portfolio. However, it does tell you that whatever we're doing with Iran isn't going to hurt oil prices, if you know what I mean. So Iran is in a lot of trouble right now because not only are we giving them economic sanctions, but whatever little oil they can sell is going to be sold at the lowest price. And so suddenly we have all this economic leverage because the U.S. has such a strong economy that oil up, oil down, it's not going to make that much difference to us. But it will make or break Iran.

So while you are looking over here at caravans and Jim Acosta and all that stuff, things in the Middle East are starting to line up. Here's the first thing that's lining up. The Saudi leader needs to do something to, shall we say, partially redeem himself from this killing of Khashoggi at the Turkish embassy. And I would not be surprised to find some announcements, some progress, some really big deals coming out of the Middle East. Might involve Iran. It might involve Saudi Arabia. Certainly would involve Israel, whether directly or indirectly. But I'm feeling like the elements are all starting to drift in the same direction. You know, it's feeling like it felt like North Korea felt a year ago, which is that there's more heading in the direction of good than bad.
