Sold as seen, breaking for spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulfar Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The only problem with this is Iran may well have nuclear weapons and the will to use them. Sadam didn't have nuclear weapons but would have loved to have them, he didn't use chemical or biological weapons as their use can lead to unpredictable consequences and his opponents were prepared for them. You cannot really prepare for a nuclear explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Peasant Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Interesting, if the site is credible. They are talking about shooting down UFOs in another article. The Iranians have been building up to this for some time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_oil_bourse. Let's see how bold they are over the coming months. Also, of note is the agreement with Chavez to build a 140,000 barrel a day refinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libspero Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 How does the game go again?Start at the top and keep going until The Great Will of America is satisfied. 1 Bribe them 2 Assassinate them 3 Go to war with them Is there a Shah available for light duties? The Iranians have been pretty smart.. they developed a nuclear capability first. The US have been pussy-footing around them ever since so I doubt we'll see a war.

Guest Daddy Bear Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) You're good at this. I know I was even better in 2008 Spot on on oil going to $40 from $150 Spot on on UK HousePrice deflation and a few others.... The one in black did not happen it only dropped to $750 - then my perspective on the outcome changed massively - I had underestimated what global central banks and governmnets would do. I changed my strategy from a deflationary one to an inflationary. I am still very happy with the decision. http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...c=65036&hl= Daddy Bear @ Jan 4 2008, 11:40 PMAnyone got any predictions for 2008? I have some to get the ball rolling (likely events - no meteor strikes or magnetic pole reversals!): UK cuts Interest rates 0.25% On Jan 10th, followed by a total of 5 more 0.25% cuts throughout the year bring rates down by 1.5% to 4% by year end 2008 Fed cuts Interest rates by 0.5% on Jan 30th and follows with 4 more 0.25% cuts throughout year, bring rates down to 2.75 by year end. Interest Rate cuts have no effect on increasing consumer demand or business expansions Major increases in unemployment in UK US Consumers are Debt Saturated Sub prime become a problem in UK The Pound reaches parity with Euro - plans are put in place to scrap sterling. House Prices fall 15% on average in UK and US in 2008. Further Bank collapses in US & UK Insurance companies collapse Inflation rises in first 6 months but is subdued by the beginning of deflation. UK & US both go into recession Q2 Oil Price collapses to $40 per barrel Commoditry prices collapse Gold falls to $500 per ounce DEFLATIONARY FORCES HAVE COME INTO PLAY. UK US Stockmarkets have major crash Nikkei levels out at 10000 pts WARNING WARNING MASSIVE INFLATION COMING CASH WILL BE TRASH DB Edited September 22, 2009 by Daddy Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
