Bradley Manning nominated for Nobel peace prize. I thought he was supposed to be the 'bad' guy for exposing military-industrial complex affairs thru leaks to wikileaks. Btw gubberments were quick to state how the leaks would lead to a number of deaths for those people exposed as spy agents, informers etc. Eh, we all know how this classic diplomatic exposure saga has unfolded...

[quote=hisah]Brent oil about vault into breakout! Expensive oil back on the radar Yet again oil will crash the markets esp now that the euroland recession is unfolding with a debt bomb to boot.




Techies & chartists, check out the 2yr brent chart and look at the falling trendline. $125 will get tested soon.

And such news obviously adds fuel to the impending breakout.

On course to testing $125... Euro debt bomb, high oil prices (inflation), global GDP slowdown, global protests/civil unrests, overbought US equity markets on vapour volume... Indeed, a cocktail lethal mix this

Many monkeys coming soon this yr.

I'm bullish on Africa, are you?

"Angola is offering financial aid to debt-ridden Portugal. The Economist recently declared Africa a "hopeful continent" after years of writing it off as "hopeless." More than a million Chinese are in Africa exploring opportunities in villages and cities. The continent is attracting top global brands and has a growing middle class. There's a sense of upbeat optimism with possibilities that seem endless. As the lions roar from Kenya to Ghana, and cheetahs from South Africa to Mali, young Africans are unleashing their entrepreneurial energy and most governments are offering stronger leadership, a more business-friendly economy, and less corruption."
