With all eyes focused on tonight's China open (and the "oops, China matters after all" meme), the Middle-East has fallen off the front (or back) pages of mainstream media. However, the last few days have been a bloodbath (analogistically as opposed to literally) across the Middle-East with Saudi stocks plunging 2.5% overnight (down almost 13% in the last 5 days) and every market from Bahrain to UAE all tumbling below August lows.

Since the Saudis are hell bent on destroying the US oil industry, we ought to sell every stock that has Saudi ties. Turn around is fair play. Let those phony “royals” have to wash their own limos.
