It is 2 o'clock on a hypothetical Monday afternoon, and the Dow Jones industrial average has plummeted 664 points, on top of a 847-point slide the previous week.

The chairman of the New York Stock Exchange has called the White House chief of staff and asked permission to close the world's most important stock market. By law, only the president can authorize a shutdown of U.S. financial markets.

1. If we attack Iran, the world comes at us for screwing up the oil market

big time. Plus ruining all those Russian and Chinese contracts. And I don't think Europe will be too happy either. And if we don't attack them, from what I've read - the economy collapses. Not a pretty picture either way.
