RE: Qaddafi's luck...Something happened today that I've been expecting for over a week. France has recognised the Libyan opposition as the new government of Libya. Other countries will soon follow.
I see it as good news - the beginning of the end for Gadaffi.
Recognition means countries can legally - under international law - offer any requested assistance to the new government. For Gadaffi the writings on the wall. Best thing he can do is step down fast and hope someone somewhere will offer him sactuary.
The bottom line is that a satisfactory resolution is much nearer now than it was yesterday.
When it comes - look for a rapid run up on stocks like BNK that have been hit.
