Iran is stupid, but not stupid enough to awake the sleeping giant, SWAT.

 

[Mapper]

Quotes from the previously linked article.
"As the dust settles after a revolt, we can band with our allies in the area to help set up the type of government which would best serve the people of Iran."
And
"With stronger sanctions coming into place right now, it is only a matter of time until the government of Iran begins to take resources from the people and Iranians are pushed over the edge. "
Is the author really suggesting we set up a government to serve the people of Iran? Or ourselves? Sanctions really "help the people of Iran"

My new years resolution is to leave the I fund alone unless it is freak'n SCREAMING buy in the chart pattern. It would have to be way oversold and on its tenth consecutive red candle stick.

The I fund is not the same as it was back a few years ago when many members road that train to some very, very nice profits. Once the Euro stabilizes and many of those countries can stop flat lining the I fund will be a nice train to ride again.

Wow!! What a jump in the Tracker yesterday. Jumped from 204 to 47. Whats interesting is the first couple of weeks is how much the top 50 change position. Good luck everyone.

You go boy. I'm at 512.

I just went back to the Tracker to look at something and noticed that there are 126 members tied at 1.70%, 257 members tied at .02% and only 90 members below zero. We have to make sure that the below zero group gets smaller and everybody finishes the year above zero.

I have change all my future contributions to the I fund. It will probably get pounded for a while but it will rebound sharply at some point.

Both my eyes are swollen shut from the pounding I have taken over the last several months in the I fund; staying in and seeing what 2012 brings us. I was thrilled to have finished off 2011 in positive territory (considering how in the red I was for a while).

Best of luck to all!

You are going to have a hard time making sure everybody finishes the year above zero with me in the list. :embarrest: I'm currently one of the 257 tied at .02%. We are the 100% G from the start of 2012 folks who are afraid of dipping below zero right off the bat.

Thank you, Kind Sir, for your good wishes !! I have embraced them !
And congratulations on your placement ....

 

[nasa1974]

Well if the market stays close to where it is right now my #47 spot in the tracker is in jeapordy. :nuts: There are 126 members .01% behind me and I will fall from the top 50 to hopefully near the bottom of the top 100. AH!! It was nice for awhile being in the top 50.
