Renowned Financial Writer: Markets Preparing for War Between Iran & Israel

Richard Russell, the famous writer of the Dow Theory Letters, believes that something big is building in the markets.

What singular, momentous occasion does he think will set off a market frenzy? A nuclear stand-off between Iran and Israel.

In his Friday note, he said [emphases added]:

“I’ve been sensing something BIG and ominous is in the offing. What could it be? Ah, a front page article in Sunday’s NY Times supplies the answer. Israel will attack Iran with nuclear bombs. Israel must attack this year for this is the year when Iran will have nuclear capabilities.

Actually, the stock market is acting as though something momentous and frightening is ‘out there.’ The roof of a monster top is building. Gold keeps creeping higher.

If Israel attacks the Mid-East will go up in flames.

Suggestion — dollars and gold. If the dollar collapses, gold will make up for the losses by sky-rocketing.

The next target for gold — to trade into the 1800s, and it’s getting close.

The Dow is fluctuating around the 12700 area, not surging above it or falling decisively below it.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the heart-beat of the market. It’s a slow, heavy beat, as if the market is waiting for something. That something is going to be BIG. Bigger than what anyone is expecting.

2012 is fated to be a monster year. Keep your eyes on the dollar and gold, and the newspaper headlines!”

“It might sound farfetched, but the tension between the two countries is building with every day. As the LA Times noted just yesterday, there’s no telling where this is all headed,” writes Cullen Roche of Pragmatic Capitalism.

“The ripple effect would be staggering if tensions flare up into something bigger. The asset class most affected would certainly be oil prices as the Middle East would become a war zone again.”

However, while surging oil prices could be viewed as “bullish” for equity market, it would most likely be a repeat of last year when exponential increases in oil prices did little more than cause recession fears.

“I think it’s irrational to make big bets on outlier events like this, but if the headlines deteriorate it would be wise to understand the market impact before the market begins to price everything in,” Roche writes. “And yes, while gold would certainly benefit, oil prices would be the primary beneficiary…”

    We can see the set up. Iran is investing a lot on “Millitary Asset’s” and very soon they will be in a state of readieness. I have this feeling that there may be a number of nukes out there and strangely the wepon’s could come from one of the other states in the area or maybe just maybe that well known country that was suposed to be hideing WMD and nukes are in that cattagory.And for a little money locations could be had.Of corse the US went over the country of Irac looking for thoughs verey wepon’s and report none found. But that is even if far fetched an opption.A sale from another state like Pakistan or any of the other nukliar nieghborers would be an action witch would be “SUISCIDE” and would deffenetly be seen as an act of “WAR”!!!!!!! Then with alot of moveing and manuvering everyone will see the true bielefs and who are our freind’s we will probably find not many. And Isreal being right in the center and in the first throughs would be “EVISSRATED”!!!!!!!! And when we wake up the next day we will find the world is no longer as safe as wHen we went to sleep,a thing that will be hard to come by. God if this must happen then “PLEASE LET IT BE SWIFT AND PAINLESS”. God please do not let our chidren suffer the ill’s brought about through our stupidedly and selfishness we would rather hurt than help because it takes less effort to hurt someone than to show compation and help the best that you can. Let us together cast this evill into the sea!!!!!!!!

      For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

Because it is clear that a military strike on Iran will explode a region already on fire. War in Syria, spreading to Lebanon, unrest in Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia , Qatar, Bahrain, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Mali….and the list goes on.

(Hitler was a recent example) The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but we wrestle against powers and principalities in high places.This is a Spiritual battle.The reason Satan wants to kill the Jews is that God has a promise to keep with the seed of Abraham after the times of the gentiles is fulfilled…If you kill the seed of Abraham, you kill the promise…God’s promises ae yea and amen!

    No wonder Ron Paul is pushing for Israel to go to war with Iran? I have a feeling Ron Paul knows this guy personally.

    In his most recent financial disclosure, which covers the year 2010, Paul had $1.6 million to $3.5 million in gold- mining stocks. He also has a stake in three bear-market funds–and has for many years.

    In all, Ron Paul’s portfolio amounts to a super bearish bet against the U.S. economy. If the country had defaulted on its debt earlier this month, he likely would have made a bundle. The congressman voted against House Speaker John Boehner‘s plan to lift the nation’s $14.3 trillion spending cAP.

    When a politician has a financial stake in one of his pet causes, it always seems a bit fishy on its face. But what are we to expect? If Paul is right about the global economy and is pushing for Israel to take care of Iran, Ayn Rand would probably say he deserves to get rich.

However, from his helocopter he sees another train far off coming from the other direction! The trains don’t know yet, but they are going to collide. He radios down to the trains but they dont listen. A minute later, they see each other but it is too late to slow down – and they collide….

    Iranian website Alef, with ties to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the opportunity must not be lost to remove “this corrupting material. It is a ‘jurisprudential justification’ to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the helm.”

    The site: http://www.alef.ir/vdcepw8zwjh8ewi.b9bj.html?142262

    They have even nice maps there, population density and what groups of missiles should be launched to cover Israel’s area, to make sure no Jew escapes. Well, it would also “cover” the “Paleostinians”, but hey, Allah will sort them out–they sure want to be martyrs, and besides, they are mostly sunnis!

      Also, a curious thing happened in Iran in late January. 4 high ranking IRG generals died in the span of 5 days. all aged between 50 and 55. It is customary for Khamenei to utter obits, but not a word, nuthing, just the notices in an official newspaper about their “exits”, and strokes and heart attacks.

      Maybe these 4 did not like the direction Iran is taking? Not all Iranians, even in the upper ranks, are complete nutjobs.

      BoMustGo, I wouldn’t bet on an attack on Israel as the first thing. Being fanatical religious nutjobs, the Iranian leadership still thinks tactically. Some IRG top secret docs were leaked in the past several years and they present several scenarios.

      Most of them are based on a misdirection. The main goal is to start a world war, to wake up Mahdi. Israel is secondary to that goal. One scenario entertained attacking US and Russia at the same time (and a payload in a satellite clothing may just be the way to do it), hoping that it would spark a nuclear exchange between them, Then Israel would be without any protection and an easy target. Israel is presumed to launch after an attack, but there would be still enough Iranians left to carry the black flag of Islam.

      But it may be that Khamenei just hates Jews so much that Israel is being put on the top of the list. Perhaps in his view, the means are secondary and the attack on US and/or Russia may be still not achievable at present. Whatever starts the world war is just dandy in his book and if Jews are gone as the first shot, he is considering it a bonus.

      According to their legend of the 12th Imam, an attack on Israel will wake him up so he can crawl out of his well (bottomless pit).There is a book by Mark Hitchcock called “The Apocalypse of Ahmadinejad.” It can be found in Christian book stores.It covers their belief in the Imam mahdi or 12th Imam.

      @Bomustgo…..the rapture of the Christian church will take place before the signing of the covenant between Israel and the antichrist. Believers and followers of Jesus won’t be around to see the “beast” arise…so states the Book Of Revelation. But even before that, Israel’s “neighbors” will attack and God will intervene to save His chosen people. At least that’s the way I read it.
      Anyway…we are in for a world of trouble. God help us.

      United must attack Israel by 2014 The Necessity of Imam Khomeini’s view in Israel Annihilation “Today, the first Qibla of Muslims has been the Occupied by Israel, the Middle East for a Cancerous tumor. Today, Israel is causing division using all evil means. Every Muslim is obliged to equip themselves against Israel. For about 20 years, I have been warning about the danger of international Zionist, and right now its danger for all the liberation revolutions in the world and the recent Islamic revolution of Iran is not less than the past. I have already warned that the Israeli usurping government, with the aims which it is seeking for, is a great danger for Islam and all Muslim nations, and it is likely that if Muslims leave Israel alone, the opportunity could be lost and it may not be possible to stop them; and since the potential danger is facing the foundations of Islam, it is necessary for the Islamic governments in particular and other Muslims in general to remove this corrupting material by any means. All our troubles are due to Israel! And Israel results from America too

      “US ‘anger’ at Israel weapons sale
      16 December, 2004, 14:42 GMT
      The Israeli defence ministry has confirmed that it faced questioning by Washington over arms sales to China.

      But the ministry denied media reports that the US had demanded the dismissal of a top official over the matter.

      A statement from the Israeli defence ministry said arms exports to China were being clarified with US officials in what it called a good spirit.

      The statement followed Israeli reports that the sale of a sensitive weapons system to China had angered Washington. ”

      KIddo, your mistake is to assume that they sold US military tech to China. Nope, they sold their tech. Though the tech is an extension of what US military also uses, it has been modified by Israel for the sale purposes, so it is not the same thing that Israel develops for US and Israeli military..

      Interesting, though, is that you never mention Slick Willie’s gift of US military tech/know-how to China. Not a mod, mind you, like Israel did.

      IMO this is a very shroud move by Iran. They have long wanted to be the leader of the Muslim uprising and the capital of the new Caliphate. Whether they have the bomb or not they have forced Isreal to attack them. Make no mistake Isreal has to take the threats and intellegence seriously. Iran gives up very little in exchange for being crowned the Muslim king. The Palistinians will immediatly attack Isreal and Syria and Egypt will rally their people around attacking Isreal. The Saudi’s will either join in or pour huge sums of cash into the fight. The Iraqi’s and Afgan people will jump on the wagon and kick us out of there. The entire region will be under control of radical Islam and there’s not a damned thing we can do about it. Drill here drill now and leave those people alone please.

      I agree. Israel sticking up for itself will show many people that Obama is weak because he failed to stop Israel from defending itself. Obama’s hands are tied right now. I really think by having Panetta divulge that Israel might attack in the next few months was a ham-fisted attempt to undermine Israel’s future success. It isn’t working. As a matter of fact, I think it will only serve to speed things up.

      This is heating up very quickly, and I expect Obama to execute some sort of diversionary tactic to take the world’s attention off of himself.

But I don’t think it will be total destruction. My personal opinion is, we will be looking at the loss of 2 or 3 cities. Interestingly enough, the vision that was given to George Washington at Valley Forge, suggested a very similar scenario.
