An Ant Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Looks like Chalabi is not needed anymore. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. military personnel and Iraqi police have raided the compound of the Iraqi National Congress and the nearby home of Iraqi Governing Council member Ahmed Chalabi. Chalabi's nephew, Salim Chalabi, said the forces entered his uncle's home, put a gun to Chalabi's head and threatened him. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/20/...raid/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Leeson is bigger than all markets, able to move the futures and get the Greyhounds moving in any direction he wants. Looks like another Jam Job into expiration. I'm staying out of the way.

Guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Baffle them with BS that's the present strategy to propel Whipsaw theory and keep all traders off balance. Yield rising? Launch the bad jobs number! Oil dropping? Reverse it! Gold Breaking out? Crush it! Expect massive reversals today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drano Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 U.S. new jobless claims rise as 4-week average falls .... Economists prefer the four-week average to the more volatile weekly number, which is subject to large revisions. I'm sure that the only reason the weekly number is subject to revisions is the difficulty of measuring accurately in a short timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine how many direct phone calls he had with Cheney's office prior to the war to gin up the "cause." He's a dead man. If anybody needs proof of the Cheney-led march to war and the REAL STORY, they'd better get the Red Cross in there right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the $4-mil stipend was stoped but it may cost $5-mil for another sob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian4 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 On Housing there are bigger implications than the damage rising rates will do. The Bubble has increased the assessed value of homes to record highs which has driven up property taxes which in turn has provided cash starved Cities, Counties, Provinces etc with windfall revenue to keep them afloat. Now when prices fall and assessed values fall so does their tax revenues. That will Bankrupt local Government or reduce services drastically. Garbage pick-up once a month??

Coming to a theatre near you! Yep, they squeezing many families to be sure. And everyone is on a "don't pay for 12 months plan." Mortgages, leased cars, furniture and plasma screens, John Deere's, Home Depots, on and on. Line of credits likely to the max. When the air conditioning is on this summer and the hydro bills start coming in there will be a wake up call. Then toss in gas and payroll health care deduction, HELLO. This could become very ugly. and then their is the jobless rate rising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wander if they are finally seeing the US markets for the circus they are. You are assuming European markets are a thinking organism - NOT . Just a brainless appendage dangling off AMAT.
