If all hell breaks loose in Saudi Arabia, look for a multi-thousand point fall in the Dow as well as oil surging above $200 overnight. Tomorrow could be the beginning of collapse.

So much of our economy is dependent on that bank, and when it collapses, so does our national economy. This is going to make the collapse of Lehman in 2008 look like a cakewalk. Prepare for 30-40% unemployment. It will not surprise me if martial law has to be declared.

The good news is oil will fall probably below $50/bbl but nobody will have jobs.

Get ready for civil unrest, civil war, martial law, survival of the fittest on our streets. Getting a cabin in the wilderness in Montana is a good idea right now.

God was giving us a warning that day of whats to come. Its our material wealth that has made this country greedy and gluttonous, and the time has come for us to pay the piper. Repent now or much worse is to come!

And now for a more balanced viewpoint...

Investment Strategy For Saudi's Day Of Rage

Not to mention that this "Day of Rage" was actually scheduled earlier this week, but was postponed due to lack of attendance:

Saudi 'Day of Rage' protests postponed - UPI.com

Somehow I think tomorrow will just be another normal day on Planet Earth.

It won't be as bad as the October of 2008 crash though. Look for USA to get on with the drill baby drill project.

Oil surging almost $100 barrel in one day?

I take the collapse as an opportunity to buy more shares for long-term.

Well, here it is, Tomorrow.

As I speak, Oil is 99.93, down 2.77.
The USD is up 0.05% from yesterday's close.

Or maybe a giant earthquake will cripple the world's second biggest economy and send oil prices plummeting. (don't check the date this was written, I wanna feel prophetic )

strange world we live in...
