    Economic impact of possible attack on Iran

    That's why portable ground-air missiles are the best weapon in the world right now :) Russia lost 25 million people and still managed to advance to Berlin. Nobody can't say anything about that.

    Quest for the Next Big Tradable Trend

    USD continued downfall until it hits bottom in 2005. Bottom is not hit yet! 10% to 15% more room to go. Until significant improvement in the twin deficits which did not yet happened. Under-expectations inflation rates. Every body waits for high inflation, it won't happen. Look for those...
