meaning its bad right?

I'd say that the US is already further to the right.

I am a trader - my advice to you is to keep your head in the game, no matter what happens. Cut your losses quick and let your profits run for as long as the indicators don't say otherwise.

where do you learn to trade stocks?

I do it at http://www.hl.co.uk/
with my dad. He put £10,000 in 3 months ago and has £11,000 now. It's a good way to make money but don't get complacent.

Well, this will end at some point, one way or another.

we either have deep scars or shallow scars in the future of the crisis. Hopefully it ends soon. Wars belong in the 20th century. Not the 21st.

Well Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim speaking country, and China has had a lot of unrest in the Xinjiang region of China. It is reasonable to see that China could be a target of radical Islamists. But there are other groups like Tibetan extremists which could also want to see a plane destroyed, hell even Vietnam nationalists could do so...

In fact when I was in Beijing there were major riots in Urumqi in Xinjiang region which caused the Chinese government to crackdown on Facebook/Youtube and Western news sites so I had difficulty contacting my family for the remainder of my trip.

If it were terrorist, someone probably would have taken credit by now.
