  • 'Wars and Rumors of Wars' - Time to Look at Defense Stocks [View article]
    In the past it has proven to be less expensive to leave the stuff there rather than bring it back and repair it. Most of the repairs now in the pipeline are years behind. Though, with shipping rates and oil so low now that might change whether they decide to return it. Doubtful.

    No doubt the maniacs in DC are putting their final pieces in place for an attack on Tehran before 1200 20JAN09.

    It will certainly increase the value of your gold though!

    I can hear the screams of indignation even as I write this though I think that war profiteering is the most vile of enterprise. Shame on you.

    "With all this on the plate, an outbreak of wider-scale war is probably the last thing on most leaders’ minds."

    I'm more concerned with the maniacs in Washington than with those in Moscow or Beijing. While nationalism exists in other places it is not accompanied by the peculiar brand of nationalistic exceptionalism that is practiced in DC.

    IMHO

    More likely its the first thing on their minds as its the most convenient way to get out of trouble and remain in power.
