How's about all dropping shares/stocks in oil and related products/goods, just dumping them and investing in gold?
1976 -1977 Gettie oil was in Nabalek/Ranger uranium mining/surveying in Australia, now Iran has the stuff, all in the same basket them bods. Get rid of the oil and shares go into gold as a commodity and see who worries? Sloan is gone but the wind left is not sweet. Edzell destroyed by his father, if this be the case why not the globe? It will probably take agitation from all or most countries plus some to veer the ship we all sail in only a few degrees towards a more appropriate course. To get on course in one heave on the helm seems all but an impossible dream. How many will die in Iran to get the Gett stuff back? The profits on the sales with minimal taxes and the men and women that will pay with lives and taxes to get those profits back if the duo has their way. Perhaps the duo can be used to fuel a reactor?? Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.
