POTC is also short the S&P emini contract. There is an oil pipeline at issue supposedly, and with Iran and Turkey bordering Georgia, there is good reason for concern. Perhaps an Israeli strike against Iran is more likely during the distraction of the Olympics and now this Russian offensive on Georgia? We will not cover our S&P short position too quickly, as these types of geo-political tensions could spread into bordering nations, but especially Iran and Turkey. Remember, a good part of Georgia is Muslim, so the religious fanatics could begin crossing borders into Georgia to aid in fighting.
