Retreat and cheap oilTaipan Group's Dynamic Market AlertBy J. Christoph Amberger-------------------- The Financial Research Team That Showed Its Readers How to Turn $5,000 Into $706,800… I just issued an immediate buy recommendation on one of the hottest defense companies going! The reason for the immediate buy is not because the company is completely overlooked by Wall Street, or because Forbes just ranked it 34th on its list of “The 200 Best Small Companies,” or because its stock price has quadrupled since 2002. This company is gaining excellent momentum! And the time to buy is NOW! Read this short report and find out why this unmanned aircraft play is an immediate Taipan buy… -------------------- Retreat and cheap oilby J. Christoph Amberger Armchair strategists inside the Beltway are betting that beating a swift retreat from Iraq is the ticket to peace and stability. They may have the peace and stability of their electorate (and, thus, their own mandate) in mind. If the absence of U.S. armed forces from the Middle East would actually spell relief to the region is a different question. After all, the crucial error in the planning and execution of the liberation, occupation and rebuilding of Iraq was the assumption that this would be taking place in a culture that would take to freedom, democracy and the American way of life like the Germans and Japanese did after World War II... and the Russians, Latvians, Hungarians and Poles did after the end of the Cold War. What the strategists did not consider were the underlying cultural factors: unresolved rifts and hatreds that had been festering for centuries and, after the destruction of the totalitarian pressure cooker that held it all together, were now at liberty to act freely and brutally. This is unlikely to change when newly elected politicos start kissing the babies of veterans returning from Iraq for good. The Saudis already indicated that they would be providing financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any armed conflict against the Iran-sponsored Iraqi Shiites as soon as the U.S. forces retreat. Saudi Arabia actually would prefer to have the Americans stay in Iraq, be it only to keep Iraqi's Shiites from massacring the country’s minority Sunni Arab population. A regional conflict that would pitch the Saudis and their allies against Iran opens up an interesting line of speculation. Since Iran depends on oil revenues to finance its military and political adventures, oil could once again become a weapon of war. Nawaf Obaid, a Saudi consultant to the Saudi ambassador, recently wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post in which he argued that one of the first consequences of an American pullout of Iraq could be the flooding of the global oil market with cheap oil, cutting prices in half. This move “would be devastating to Iran, which is facing economic difficulties even with today’s high oil prices.” Obaid was fired by the Saudi ambassador. Looks like retreating from Iraq could have two political benefits for then-incumbent Democratic candidates in the 2008 elections: The troops will be home and oil may be cheaper than milk again. The Middle East, however, may be burning. -------------------- TAIPAN TIDINGS In the little more than 60 days since "The Secret Commodities Blueprint" was released to the public, investors have already seen gains as high as 72.37%!
