Your old buddy is an optimistic guy, for sure. But, actually, a blessed miracle has occurred. The DOW has arisen from the depths of despair to indeed finish green. That's real optimism.
In the meantime, the dollar, which is obviously better than gold, is on a tear. I heard it is all about a flight to quality.

Iraq Premier: $25M to Be Paid on Al-Zarqawi

Iraqi Prime Minister Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Thursday that
the $25 million bounty on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's head will be honored.
"We will meet our promise," al-Maliki told al-Arabiya television without elaborating.
The United States had put forth the $25 million bounty for information leading to the death or capture of al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. Al-Zarqawi, a 39-year-old Jordanian-born terrorist, was killed in a U.S. airstrike Wednesday.
Also killed in the airstrike was al-Zarqawi's deputy and spiritual adviser Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi, who had been key to pinpointing his boss' location, U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said. Intelligence officials identified al-Iraqi with the help of an insider in al-Zarqawi's network and began tracking his movements, watching when he would meet with his boss.
The U.S. also has a $25 million bounty for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Al-Zarqawi swore allegiance to bin Laden in 2004. |
