It’s been reported that, “Houthi rebels – who are backed by Iran in a yearslong Saudi-led war against them in Yemen – have reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks and have vowed that further attacks could be expected in the future.”

When I have a post I think is especially good, or at least interesting, I cross-post it over on ZeroHedge. This probably only happens about 2% of the time. The most recent cross-post I did was about how few day traders make money.

What is striking to me is how popular the post is. Typical contributor posts get a handful of views and almost no comments. Observe the item below. You can see the posts flanking mine got maybe 100 views and a total of 1 comment. For my own, I am approaching 30,000 views and 70 comments. Clearly, I’ve struck a chord.
