1. I thought it had been the 20th.
But my addled mind may be wrong. It is somewhere in those dates. There goes the final straw in our economy.

2. I Have Been Wondering As Well
I read an article from last week, which said they were postponing the opening of the bourse. It had supposedly been scheduled for March 20.

I do not know if this article was correct or not, but it was at a gold news site I frequent. We will know in less than 2 weeks, but hopefully someone else will see this topic who knows more about what is going on with this.

Were it to open, I can only see bad things resulting from it. But it's just what we need to wake us up to reality.

3. Iranian oil bourse
Last mentioned opening date was Monday 20th March. If that
does infact occur then it is predicted that it will , in due
course , make any threat of nuclear capability pale into
insignificance.

4. Iran's euro-denominated oil bourse
Long article, excerpt below, about oil sales in Euros instead of dollars.( I
thought I had heard of something like this before about a motive for
invading Iraq having to do with a currency issue.)

Iran's euro-denominated oil bourse to open in March: US Dollar Crisis on the
Horizon
by William R. Clark

February 10, 2006
"The question remains: Why would the Vice President advocate a possible
tactical nuclear attack against Iran in the event of another major terrorist
attack against the US ... even if Tehran was innocent of involvement?

Perhaps one of the answers relates to the same obfuscated reasons why the US
launched an unprovoked invasion to topple the Iraq government ...
macroeconomics and the desperate desire to maintain US economic supremacy.

In essence, petrodollar hegemony is eroding, which will ultimately force the
US to significantly change its current tax, debt, trade, and energy
policies, all of which are severely unbalanced. World oil production is
reportedly "flat out," and yet the neoconservatives are apparently willing
to undertake huge strategic and tactical risks in the Persian Gulf. Why?
Quite simply ... their stated goal is US global domination ... at any cost."
