ira: >>>>>>As for the disparity of information between the professional traders (read that "street insiders") and the rest of us. Always has been, always will. But I believe the edge is shifting and will continue to be reduced. Companies providing private briefings to select analysts is starting to draw fire, which will get stronger. The individual online day trader has probably made the biggest gains in this respect. Technology is levelling the field quickly.

Ira << Finishing with Desert Storm, the issue wasn't (IMO) "inferior weapons and inferior intelligence" (as in gathering), it was time, tactics and leadership. If Iraq intended to fight and hold on, it should have moved into Saudi Arabia as soon as it had Kuwait under control. Waiting for us to deliver resources to the region was a serious strategic error. That error, followed by applying tactics appropriate to a less technically competent foe (Iran) sealed their fate. They blinked. If they hadn't, the outcome would have been, I believe, ultimately the same, but much more painful to us. >>> I agree. ratan
