No Iranian oil borse...

No Iranian invasion...

Other than a few whacko's who around here thought that this was going to happen anyway? I think the oil bourse is a possibility at this point, but it doesn't have to be Iranian, and no one knows when it wil happen.

As for an Iranian attack, I doubt that also anytime soon. Unfortunately this website has a good gathering of fringe thinkers. Kind of goes with the territory and I think it's a problem for the credibility of the whole PO issue.

Other than that, the simple fact that stories get posted on our news boards does not necessarily mean they express the opinion of us as news editors. We transmit stories in the way they come available at a given moment in time. So, if there's a lot of talk going on about an Iranian oil bourse or if some institute predicts this and that obnoxious development related to oil, there is a chance you'll read about it at the news boards, and you can make up your own mind.

Or as they say: don't blame the messenger.

I don't recall anyone making any specific prediction for sunrise on March 20th. I won't dispute that a lot of bad info gets posted here, but you should at least wait until April 1 before crowing about LEAP.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')ran is the world’s fourth largest oil producer and the second biggest exporter within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
The country, which also holds the world’s second largest gas reserves after Russia, has planned to put an end to the greenback monopoly on oil trades by expediting efforts to establish an oil bourse by April.
Once the much-publicized oil bourse is established, the long-sought objective of replacing the US dollar with the euro in OPEC transactions will come one major step closer to reality.
The oil bourse, which will be established as envisaged in the Fourth Five-Year Plan (2005-2010), has received support from both the Parliament and the government in Iran. It will enable oil-rich Iran to regulate prices at home without having to follow other countries’ dollar-pegged trading system.
