Interesting development on Jenin ....... the news network started to spread the news that only dead civilians who lived in Jenin will be handed over to the arabs for burial. The other dead will be handled by the IDF. My read of that is that there is an effort to identify if between the dead are also terrorists not from Jenin or the west bank and are possible terrorists belonging to Hesbolla or Al Queda - OBL terror organization. This is an interesting twist worth to follow. Also recently floated are the news that the 200 + terrorists holed up in Beitlehem may be deported to a third country which also indicates that it is possible that not all those 200 + terrorist are from the Beitlehem area. Watch developments ...... possible that the DEBKA FILE was right after all

If Iran joins the oil embargo, and the war expands as Debka predicts, the price of crude will shoot through the roof. I have about ten percent of my portfolio in mostly Canadian oil (and another ten percent in Gold), which should surely benefit. However, I doubt it will sufficiently offset the destruction of the rest of my portfolio. My question is, what recommendations do the readers of this thread have as to maximising the profit potential of this unfortunate, coming event? I was thinking about options on the OIH. The May 65's (OIHEM) look good.
