I spend some time in trying to know how the US pundits view the markets in 2001, I was watching this interesting show (FOX) where one big shot came up with the idea of war in 2001 in the Middle East as Palestinian- Israeli escalates, now the other big shots really embraced the thought, now I was wondering that if any one of these had an ounce of intelligence they would think that Saudi-Kuwait -Gulf Axis will no way support an embargo and no way go for war, the Syrians and Jordanians are ruled by the sons of man who are embedded to ideasd of the west... but the way the war was theorised reinforced my believe that this market is sold on points where these guys have no idea, I think peace will usher in ME and this news made my day..Arafat Gave Conditional OK to U.S. Plan .. ther pundits are really far far away from dynamics of the economy and politics I feel so shocked that this is a country where any one can call himself an expert without any idea of the region or without any thinking that Kuwaitis Royal family and the Saudis will never ever forgive the backstabbing of 1990, the Arab unity or Pan Arabism of 1967 is dead with Nasser, but the US media has no idea, war with whom and by who, the Islamic world today is fragmented and totally in a dis-array trying to find their bearing right and here I see some intellectual wasting time of millions by creating a war in ME, who will fight and how it wil befought is not an issue the oil goes through roof is the conclusion, this is what i call as sensationl analysis..they provide outdated analysis, I am further sure that like they do in politics they have no idea of economy either, their is no recession and their is no hard landing..

<<.. it is a very long wait but the trap to be caught is being set very nicely i will not be surprised to see the easing in bigger chunks and sooner, even AG would be surprised by the reaction, he knows it well that all this surplus can evaporate if market that is the barometer of the economy is left to the whims of 1/4 or 1/2 percent monetary policy.. >>Message #36116 from IQBAL LATIF at Jan 2, 2001 11:44 PM James Strauss once joked Alan Greenspan reads my thread, yes he does.. this is what I had to say that pre-emptive action of fed is around the corner, like on that Saturday morning when US Supreme Court stopped the Floridans I was saying just wait and see, for the people who thought it is over for Bush,like wise last night this post of mine will remain 'that classic that stamps this thread as the place where the finest people on SI meet and talk without emotions and lot of positive action'.. love conquers all and thanks to everyone of the regulars who have helped this thread to maintain sanity in face of total annihilation by the market.. the way you all extend love to me make me analyse things openly and we are wrong but we get things overall in terms of strategy right that what counts n life... long live everyone of my friend here who has been so consistent and so nice alll the way.. and thanks Ray Smith for noticing finer points..

Ray.. OT............ It needs support of people like you in private what you say help me going people like you save this thread and save our toughts from being bulldozed out, it needs dozens of private messages to say 'Ike we are thankful for your wrong and right to continue' sometime heat is far too much but we are in the kitchen we have to accept it, the best in me is the result of my friends who love me, who open their houses to me, and who treat me in face of adversity as their brother, the community we have together created results into cooler mind, sanity and holding of hands in worst of times it is ....... figure day today for me but who cares, their were many down days in but we held firm and made our trades.. My thanks to my friends. Ray I was writing this post last night about this feel I had that if I was AG I would be worried now, and i thought he will pre-emptively strike within 24 hours and I thought to write it that way but I thought already I am making a lot of predictions but replying to GZ who had the guts to stand up and say htat e are not dead was important, the bulls were being massacared and I wanted to show GZ my solidarity with his intellectual read of the market, we 'stronger'ggg man sometime need support too, I felt I was lonely out there and felt that GZ also is one lone star on this side of the divide. I thought to reply before I went to talk to my old mother who was telling me the story of my father love with her..in 1934, how my father saw her first time in red 'sari' singing a devotional theme in Dehli.. that was start of a love that resulted in my father marrying my mother in 1950 ..so with all this going on, market thoughts are never left behind but family, love, and meeting and enjoyment all together with great friends to rely on we do what we can.. and credit goes to our open door policy, God bless everyone, humility and humbleness is an attitude that market likes the most..I am going to write my mother story on the htread soon it will be a classic and it will one anotehr example that we are not only about markets we are beyond that beggers of love and beggers of forgiveness..
