Also Mojave, here's something you might find of interest. The Federal Reserve will not be doing its M3 monetary report starting in March. At this same period, Iran is scheduled to begin its Oil Bourse trading entity, which will be a direct competitior to the other two exchanges for oil supplies in New York, and Brittian, both using the dollar. The Iranian Oil Bourse will be using Euros, and if it catchs on, which there are signs that some significant countries are considering it. Then it could destabalize the value of the dollar worldwide, and you can imagine the kind of economic havoc that would wreak. It is suspected that the Fed is stopping its M3 report, which coincides with the beginning of the Iranian Oil bourse market, to hide possible dire dollar devaluation, if the Iran's Bourse is successful. Incidentally, Isreal has been implying that it will not allow Iran to develop its nuclear program, even for domestic power uses, even though Iran is compliant with the world regulations for its use. Isreal has suggested a timeframe of around March for possible attacks, the same period for the beginning of Iran's Bourse. It will be interesting to see if the Isreal, or even the US, makes a move, under false pretenses, to thwart this new Iranian Market for oil trading, in Euros, instead of dollars. The US under Mr Texican's wise and thoughtful leadership, has made more enemies than friends lately around the world, and jumping on board Iran's Bourse market would give some parties a perfect opportunity to negatively affect the strength of the American economy.
