Bought more gold (doubled position). Shorted more GOOG for a daytrade and bought more SINA on weakness.

Iran tested "super-modern flying boat" and SECOND land-to-sea Kowsar missile which could cause havoc to key shipping lanes, according to reports. ELMAT: The message is, imagine if these flying boats fall in the "wrong" hands!! Iran tests 'super-modern flying boat' 11.36AM, Tue Apr 4 2006 Iran has successfully tested its "super-modern flying boat" and land-to-sea Kowsar missile which could cause havoc to key shipping lanes, according to reports. Iranian state radio said the Kowsar could evade radar and that its guidance system could not be scrambled. It was designed for sinking shipping in the Gulf. The tests came in the middle of Gulf war games that started on Friday. The Defence Ministry was not immediately able to give details of a "flying boat" that was shown on television. The small propeller-driven aircraft floated on a trimaran hull until it took off and flew low over the surface of the water. State television said it could reach speeds of 100 knots. "A super-modern flying boat was successfully tested in the 'Great Prophet' war game in Persian Gulf waters," state television said. "Because of its hull's advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can locate it. It can lift out of the water. It is wholly domestically built and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving." An aviation web site showed the vessel shared features with WIGE vehicles, known to Russians as ekranoplanes. Earlier in the war games, Iran said it had tested a radar-evading rocket and the Hoot (whale) underwater missile which could outpace any enemy warship. On Monday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard test-fired a torpedo it said was being mass-produced in Iran. The US said it was possible Iran had developed weapons that could evade sonar and radar but warned the Islamic Republic had a tendency to "boast and exaggerate". Although Iran's military technology might not be highly advanced, analysts say Iran would not need much know-how to cause chaos in vital oil shipping channels. They say Iran could be testing arms in the Strait of Hormuz, a key tanker nexus, to dissuade Israel and the United States from taking military action against Tehran's nuclear programme. Iran has been referred to the UN Security Council after failing to convince the world its atomic scientists are working exclusively on power stations and not branching into weapons.
