Saddam's capture vs. OBL's death

[Pekelo]

The same thing, should have no effect on the markets.

Saddam was captured on a Sunday night too, and futures were up ridiculously. I think by Monday noon we closed the gap. So short it.....

If you want to check the chart, it was on Sunday, December 14, 2003....

P.S.: That Pakistanian healthcare must have been one helluva fine.... I wonder if it was private or government funded....

Is this another one of your paper trades?

Right on.

I had high hopes for the following day and it was a dud.
