Attacking Iran is like opening Pandora’s Box; the result is going to be bad the question is just how bad. Russia is looking to re establish its influence as a super power and China also wants to be considered as one of the big kids on the block. They are sitting there very smartly watching the US bury itself in Iraq and they are definitely making plans to take advantage of the United States weakness now that we are bogged down in Iraq. These two nations are in a win win situation right now. If the US attacks Iran they will be completely tied down to make sure they are tied down till they bleed to death all these two chaps have to do is keep supplying the Iranian with sophisticated weapons. Then they sit on the sidelines and watch the chaos and in the mean time they are now free to exert full control over the regions next to them. In China’s case it will be Taiwan and in Russians case they will start playing hard ball with all the former Soviet Union countries that try to from alliances with the West.
Iran is heavily armed and they could on a moments notice shut down the Strait of Hormuz for an indefinite period of time. The shock to the world would be huge; oil would almost certainly spike to over 100 dollars a barrel and up to 150 dollars in a few days. Every time there has been any from of threat in the Middle East oil prices almost always doubled; this happened several times in the 1970’s and also during the first Gulf war. The difference this time is that there are more nations competing for the same limited resource. In the 1970’s China and India were not even on the map and Indonesia was still self sufficient. China now is the world’s second largest consumer of oil and Indonesia is no longer self sufficient. Forget about the other effects of attacking Iran, just the closure of the straits of Hormuz is enough to cause hell.
Potential opportunities if the above scenario should unfold
Natural gas prices will go through the roof as more business will try to use this instead of oil. To make matters worse supplies are already constrained.
Coal prices will take off as many utility companies are forced to bring on old power plants due to the high prices of oil and Natural gas prices could take off on a moments notice if demand suddenly spikes.
Precious metals will keep sky rocketing and since both Silver and Gold have corrected nicely those that do not have positions could start buying some bullion now.
Uranium prices will take off as more nations race to adopt Nuclear energy. Ukraine has recently stated that they are looking to build 14 nuclear power plants to make sure that they are not as dependent on Russia for their energy needs.
The housing sector with the rest of the economy will get smashed; the astute investor who has patience will find some incredible gems in the real estate sector.
Now we would prefer that this scenario does not come true because all the opportunities we listed above are going to become reality sooner or later. We would just prefer that they become reality without a huge massive global disruption in oil supplies and thousands of unnecessary deaths.
Buy Silver my friends buy Silver iys your turn to live in this Harsh world of power. i have just finshed buying 125kilos of Silver last week at $12.55 an ounce. now its flying grab some befor your Doller becomes nothing
