Zuma's Batcomputer just sent a Wall Street alert that today is gonna be a "DOW-N" day for the Dow. One of those painful down days that reminds you how fragile the economy is. Oil at $110 per barrel ain't helping the already sucky housing, credit and bond markets and weaker than ever dollar. Margin calls are hitting some of the big boys real hard! (See Carlyle story). Oil will continue to skyrocket higher than your worst nightmare ($145-$150 in the short run.) What is causing the rise in dollars per barrel? The U.S. is backing Columbia vs Venezula's Hugo Chavez, so the risk of oil supply disruption is already driving the price up. (Hugo might turn off the oil switch.) Remember, when oil goes up -- so does gold. Silver ain't doing bad, either. GOLD is at $990 and SILVER is at $20.42 in overnight trading.
