Severe Sell-Off Does Not Slow Rise In Shares Of Gunmakers

Every looming threat of regulation causes gun buyers to stockpile. Kind of foolish for anyone to expect that prohibition expectations aren't going to cause everyone to rush out and buy a case of liquor.

It provides some perspectives that are not commonly understood.

Understanding – and predicting – the behavior of groups or countries begins with a clear view of their goals, their needs and their assets. Almost always, this starts by looking at a map.

Understanding – and predicting – the behavior of groups or countries begins with a clear view of their goals, their needs and their assets.  Almost always, this starts by looking at a map.

When it comes to nation-states, "place" determines many defining elements of a people or culture: the nature and relative strength of the economy, imperatives for trade, military strengths or weaknesses, even the ease or difficulty of establishing civic institutions or uniting inhabitants into a coherent polity and their relative influence on a regional or global scale.

So if you're wondering how to make sense of global events – and the often unspoken factors that drive the policies and behaviors or international actors – start with a look at the role of their geography. A study of the United States, probably the most recognizable example, is a great jumping-off point.

Bloomberg: First U.S. Oil Export Leaves Port; Marks End to 40-Year Ban

The quo for the ITC extension quid.
