Plunging Markets and Surrender in Syria

The world markets continue their volatility with a definite trend lower. Stay the course in America as there do not seem to be many alternatives outside of illiquid assets. On the security front, Europe refuses to confront the challenge of absorbing Syrian (and others) refugees who contain a significant minority with a world view incompatible with western liberalism. The reaction on the right will only strengthen as European leaders fail to recognize the concerns. A peace conference scheduled but no one really can square the disparate interests of Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Russia, the United States, Jordan, Lebanon, etc.
