Speaking of oil....This from Kitco

the following appeared on the Longwave forum a little while ago. If oil soars above $30 real soon I believe gold will be right on its heels ( soaring that is ) :

Another intersting post by Downstreamer from TB2000. There have been
rumours in the industry that Iraq was holding large positions in crude
oil futures through some of its shell companies. If they can drive the
price up by cutting off exports, they will be able to profit from their
futures positions. I wonder if Iraq, Bin Laden, etc. are thinking of
other ways to disrupt supplies over the next month or two.

Oil prices are gonna be up through the roof tonight on NYMEX Access
and in the regular trading session tomorrow. Because the UN Sec
Council was unable to come to terms with the French and the
Russians on putting a lid on the rollover of the 6 month Iraqi oil
for food deal, a stop gap two week Iraqi oil sale deal was approved
on Friday. On Sat Iraq rejected this deal and said they're gonna
stop loading tankers as soon as those currently in port are done.
( Could someone link in the appropriate stories. Por favor. )

So a big Bravo for our resident oilmeister - Gordo Gecko. His
contentions that Hussein is taking big Brent positions and then is
gonna capitalize on all this y2k mess by throwing a monkey wrench
into the UN oil for food deal just took on increased credibility.
This is the first time in three years the Iraqi oil export program
is gonna be seriously suspended. Hussein knows a monkey wrench in
oil markets right now will extend to a big disruption of our stock
markets and western economies. Considering how tight oil markets
are, rachet y2k related chaos up another few knotches. Things are
gonna get real interesting. If we lose Iraq's 3 million barrels a
day we'll be up through $30 by the end of the week.

Sell the SUV and get the ol' bike out.

Got length ( oil market ) ? Got shorts ( stock market ) ?
