"But, then, most people would understand what Iran's and al Qaeda's real motive is aimed at today: To raise asset prices and commodities to outrageous levels by means of terrorism and reduce the value of the USD. If you are aware of what is really happening today, then you may have made hundreds of thousands in currency trading."

I think al Qaeda is more ideologically driven. However, Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela and others are in it to manipulate the markets and destabilize our economy even if it requires using proxies like hezbullah to do it. As for the gol-oil link, I'm not seeing it. I'm long energy and big pharma and short discretionaries...my favorite being Whole Foods Market which to me is a liberal freak show since they refused to carry and sell live lobsters under the guise of animal cruelty.

Al Qaeda is in Iran's pocket. Russia, China, Venezuela are in the game for profits. Iran was seeking to destabilize the USD all along. They are playing the "Look! Over there!," game. The U.S. was forced to react to Saddam's WMD threat. Russia smuggled the WMD to Syria and buried some of them in Iraq and Lebanon. The entire game was aimed at causing the U.S. to expend billions in Iraq. Now there is evidence the total U.S. expenditure was $ 3.5 trillion not just the $ 350 billion that was publicized last year. Some wise people have made tons of money trading USD against the Canadian dollar in the past thirty days. "Canadian dollars?," most people just say, "Humpf!" Canada is rich in oil. But, then, why be obvious if you are Iran? Persians are experts in misdirection, double dealing, lying and finding others to fight their wars for them (E.g. Hezbollah and Hamas).
