From the following you can figure that I am as inept in macro econ as I am in international relations, and I certainly lack the imagination to vision through the fog to the best of my abilities, and anticipate the absurd script: Message 16024396 <<July 2nd, 2001 Just for fun ... on ball rolling downhill: War in Mid-East War in Korea Assassination of the House of Saud Same of President Chen in Taiwan Failure of JP Morgan Chase Failure of something big in Tokyo … US consumers decide to save Long bond yield heads up for any reason at all Iran and Iraq form alliance, ostensibly defensive in nature, but Kuwait not welcomed ...
