Read Jane Galt to find out why I haven't bothered writing anything about the war and the stock markets.
NOTE: The headline comes from an Econ 101 professor I had way back when at Mizzou. I pretty much stole my style from Professor Johnson, who liked to teach econ with lessons like "Why the Ticket Scalper Is Your Best Friend" and "Winston Cigarettes: the Unofficial Currency of Romania."
Oh, and on the first day of class, the first words out of his mouth were "Money, money money. I LOVE IT!" Great teacher.
I was lucky enough to have a teacher like that a time or two - though, unfortunately, not in Econ. He sounds great.

Sorry! Got distracted and hit the button a few too many times. Never try to post while talking on the phone.
Wrong! From personal experience, it was Kent cigarettes.
New rule- serious journalists must take econ 101 and learn fundamentals of microeconomics, preferably from your prof or Ronnie Reagan's Eureka college teacher.
Gabi P is right. It was Kent cigarettes. A common greeting toward foreigners was "Aveti Kents?" (Do you have Kents?).
NPR hacked me off on this topic on Monday:
Day 5: NPR has a spot on markets, saying today's market sell-off is an indicator that the war might not end today. No wonder the market is so volatile, if traders really thought the war would be over today.
Today's sell-off could have been people taking profits from last week?
