October 28, 2004

Hello,
Did you say thirty thousands of bananas’s, or was it 380 tons of explosives or maybe 3.8 tons well what ever the story is today.
Folks incase you haven’t done the math it would take 100 men with 38 trucks working 12 hours a day two weeks to move 380 tons of explosives ,mind you in the middle of a war . Sounds reasonable to be handling explosives for 12 hours while being shot at doesn’t it? Funny that no one is worried about what happened to the WMD’s. If the terrorist in Iraq had all these weapons why haven’t they used them? Doesn’t this claim also support the President claim that Iraq was a serious and gathering threat? I am simple amazed at the total ridiculousness of this story. It gets even sillier with each passing day. You would think members of the mainstream media would have learned something form the Dan Rather fraud documents scandal. Yet, they continue to harp on something that is blatantly false and logically makes no sense what so ever.

The story originated from the UN director of the IAEA, Mohammed el-Baradei, Hans Blix’s boss. He sent a letter to the New York Times making the accusations in an attempt to cover his own arse. The IAEA has missed many major weapons stock piles including some in North Korea, Iran, Libya, and Iraq. The stock piles at al-Qaqaa were the responsibility of the UN and as usual the UN failed in that responsibility. Mohammed el-Baradei is considered inept at best, fostering global criminality and nuclear proliferation at worst.

This brings me to my next point; the oil for food scandal makes it clear that members of the Security Council were paid off thru the oil for food program by Saddam Hussien to oppose the war. France sold their vote on the Security Council for a mere $1.7 billion. Apparently they have joined forces once again with their allies in the mainstream US press and the Kerry campaign to defeat President Bush. Add George Soros a known commodities and currency trader, a man clearly trying to buy the presidency to the mix and it is no wonder that oil prices have suddenly moved so high so fast. My prediction oil prices will begin to plummet on Election Day.

Why so much about politics because as investors we only know what we have and we don’t know what we don’t have. After the fact anybody can say what we should have done. Investment needs a certain level of certainty and because of the environment this certainty has been missing. On November 2 we are going to move one step closer to that certainty and gain a clearer picture of what steps to take the next couple of years.

Alright finally, congratulations the Red Sox made it look easy; they win it all first time since 1918. Perhaps credit the lunar eclipse with breaking the curse or maybe there never was a curse at all, maybe they just always sucked? Don’t think of it as a good omen for Senator Kerry however, as Boston Red Sox star pitcher Kurt Schilling said it best in an interview with Charley Gibson on Good Morning America urged everyone to go out and vote on November 2 and go out and vote for Bush!

Investors have to be careful out there, it is a dangerous world,
James
