War with Iran?

[BCE]

Quote from Jayford:

Invade Iran? No way in hell after the Iraq fiasco. We may bomb a few of their nuke facilities, or better yet, let Israel do it.

I wouldn't be holding your breath for the US to invade anyone else for awhile.

But theoretically speaking, buy oil futures.

Agree. They'll wait til after the elections though most likely. They need to ratchet up the anit-Iran rhetoric some more first. No ground war. Iran has a huge army. Plus look at the disaster in Iraq. Oh, wait, I forgot. Cheney says the "insurgency" is nearing an end. Oh, yeah that's right. Peace and harmony is just around the corner. There will be a Starbucks and McDonalds on every corner within a few months run as Halliburton franchises.

Quote from Alex_in_Oz:

USA, Great Britain, Australia and Allies etc vs Iraq insurgents ...who won? Nobody! Just losers.
USA vs Iran will be even more of an embarrasment.
Even Bush and Cheney aren't THAT stupid!

...or are they??

Yes they are. No doubt. And Rumsfeld too.(Who by the way was in Iraq shaking Saddam's hand after he gassed the Kurds)

Since I believe we are about to go to war with Iran (Invade)... I am curious to some of the strategies you pros out there will implement to make gains on this event?

Note: I don't buy into the "Making Money From The Headlines." Just looking for lessons from some you experienced folk.

Yeh....bet big on that scenario....put it all! Let me know your trades, I'll gladly take the other side!


Long Bonds, short S&P are no brainers.

FYI, that's the way I played the Coup today, worked very well, made up for my shitty play on bonds after the number this morning.

You PLAYED the coup??
The bonds were already sky high and the SP is around where it was when the coup was reported..
You must be one of them traders who trades on news...and one of the few who makes money doing it!
Congrats!
