As you know Atilla driving season does "tend" to play a role in oil price movements..... smiley. Although this time there are other things on OIL's mind it seems.
However, what I really want to know is.... this thing is now almost one week old.. What ..... are the Iranian's playing at ? They take a hard line and the international community's line will harden - it looks now like whoever blinks first has lost...
Big head scratcher really.........how can Iran and/or UK/UN get out of this without losing face ?
Yes HS, but driving season will not be the same this year for the reasons I outlined below. Nobody is going on holiday, no one will be moving homes. Everybody will be sweating buckets and paying off debt and worrying about the future.
Iranians are saying their borders were violated in six different areas by UK forces. They claim they have it on film which we may get to see.
As for Blair I would impeach him along with Bush.
Iraqis question what the UK troops were doing in those waters as nobody goes there? I'm really cheesed off with sabre rattling.
Normal reaction of the UK is to negotiate. Blair has been very quick along with the US in drumming up military action against Iran. What's different in this case?
Just when Iranians have said they will release the female prisoner and allow hostages to be visited, UK troops sorround the Iranian consulate and start firing weapons.
I think the whole thing is engineered by UK and US governments. Forgive me for being cynical.
US has been itching for this and if it doesn't act it will lose face. UK and Iran are just pure fodder imo.
1. Pentagon have to use up their weapons to sell them.
2. They have to divert attention from domestic issues. Budget defecits.
3. Protect the $.
4. Nuclear weapons indeed...
Make the world a safer place to live.
International community is against US and UK? We get sanitized news. Russia and China are supporting Iran and no such thing as agreeing on UN votes. All lies. Don't know where our governments get their news from. Forget the embargo of goods and services, Russia are currently providing all sorts of US troop movement intelligence to Iran. It's apparently withdrawn it's citizens from Iran too.
Milosowich thought he was building a greater Serbia and he decimated the country and Serbia.
I feel US is so hell bent on war it has already sadly decimated the honour and dignity of its marines and now in the process of decimating it's economy and soon the $.
I'm expecting the worse tomorrow and will be shorting the SPX big time. Gold and Oil very speculative at the mo.
I'm still confused about oil. Given the scenario I'm surprised it's not $80+. I may try going long tomorrow. $3 Jump today that's some 300 pips for people with big purses and big b0ll0cks.
I'm not happy at all.
And I'm not talking about my +7 pips today.
