It was admittedly a very direct middle finger of a joke, which I don't discount. But he called and was very angry about it. The call lasted an hour. It was pretty amazing.

But the reality may be even grimmer. In fact, Dubai and the other oil-enriched regions of the Arab world aren't quite the safe havens they once were. Western and Middle Eastern markets are more closely intertwined than they were during the 1970's oil boom. But recently, Arab exchanges have been...
