calvinI have no doubt that the price can still go lower.
Especially tonight, watching the POG play cat and mouse with $600.
But I don't think that killing Al Zarquawi has much long term effect on the outcome in Iraq . . . his role is more symbolism, both on the part of Zarquawi himself (ego) and the USA (propaganda target).
As you say, if they have the motherlode and prove it through the drill in coming months, it doesn't matter . . . we'll fly.
In the meantime, I'm well aware of the tumultuous nature of the current markets. (all I have to do is peak at the screens (lol) ). One thing I've developed over the years though, is patience.
Good luck all.
