Big Doo Doo Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Also from Jim Willie's commentary cited/linked above: The Saudi Al Qaeda mastermind Abdel Aziz al Muqrin was reportedly killed in Riyahd. The fuse may be lit for retaliatory assassinations of middle level Saudi royals. The lack of American understanding of Saudi civil disarray, national deterioration, royal corruption, decline in per capita income, widespread poverty, wealth confiscation, division within the royal family, connection with fundamentalist groups, and tight links to US military industrial political complex is truly alarming. -------------------- We may be on the cusp of an all out retaliatory "war" by Al Quaeda on the "House of Saud". Disruption of Saudi oil is now directly in their sights. This could become very, very ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 PLUNGER & STOOLIES ; What is the real value of 3-rickety patrol boats, and the freedom of eight British sailors . IMMEAUSURABLE, PERHAPS ? I guess that the IRANIANS will have to eat a great amouny of BRITISH( pudjing) CROW . The amount of pudding at first, may appear indigestible, but the EOROP-E-ENS, will provide MAALOX . This seems to me the most likely scenario ! THERE'S A very small probability, that the IRANIANS may not be willing to swalow the swill ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 A couple months old - but right on point: The sad reality is that we live in an age wherein governments that extol the virtues of free markets will stop at almost nothing to manipulate them to their own ends.? We have a Fed Chairman who prattles on about low inflation as our bills rise on a monthly basis and gasoline prices routinely post new all-time highs.? We have the Labor Dept. fabricating numbers that private economists and journalists like John Crudele routinely expose as being fat loads of hooey.? And we have, by Executive Order 12631, a ?Working Group on Financial Markets? charged with the responsibility of doing whatever it takes to prevent the market from taking its normal and necessary course. http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/r.../2004/0519.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Doo Doo Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Over the centuries, screwing with the British has proven to be a very bad idea. Could be the makings of a James Bond 007 movie !! "The name is Bond ... James Bond." Speaking of which, expect to see the portable cell phone booth, pictured in my avatar, in the next upcoming Bond movie. You heard it here first !

brian4 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Nikkei is getting smacked hard. On another note someone made a big bet on the Cubes again -July 32 Put Qav sf-Volume 30,908- 23,000 outstanding in the morning we will know what the current open interest is. If you look at the strike above it the july 33 put someone made a hell of a bet there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 World Markets are in Trouble. No info from JoB, BoE yet. All appear to be raising rates in close to unison precision. ECB warns of inflationary dangers FRANKFURT (AFP) - The European Central Bank expressed concern about possible inflationary dangers, which might lead the guardian of the euro to tighten monetary conditions in the single currency area. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...on_040621100833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertiger Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 The FED is a facilitator... It is mindless/desperate consumers that request debt to be created for them...If the FED said no a collapse beyond any of you to comprehend would happen... Unfortunately mindless/desperate consumers have a finite ability to request the required amount of debt to sustain the system...Once maximum potential is reached a collapse beyond any of you to comprehend will take place... The current blast in the M's is due to the last gasp of the real estate industry now that rates are rising... By the time the authorities realize they are in a collapse beyond their comprehension it will be beyond their comprehension... Once the system reaches maximum potential, like the upside, the downside will be equally unstoppable... Good thing the US created Al Queda or we might have to blame the system itself...That is ultra forbidden... The minimum window is 9-39 days until some sort of yucky shows itself... The maximum window is late 2004 early 2005 since the buzz in central banker world is that they are trying to get past the election... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
