Dear CIGAs,
This argument is interesting, but more so is the inevitability of hyperinflation, the reality of energy as a currency hedge and the scariest of all, Pakistan.
Each equate to a higher oil price, potentially much higher when least anticipated and less understood.
"The certain cure for low oil prices is low oil prices."

Iraq bomb blasts send death toll to 140 in 24 hours
April 24, 2009
A double suicide bombing at Baghdad’s most revered Shia shrine has left at least 60 people dead, the latest in a bombing blitz that has killed and maimed up to 140 people in just 24 hours.
The attack on Friday prayers at the golden-domed Qaddumiyah mosque in northern Baghdad came a day after security forces claimed to have captured one of the leading al-Qaeda figures in Iraq. The two kamikaze attackers blew themselves up in a crowded market just outside the shrine, one of the holiest in Shia Islam.
At least 20 pilgrims from neighbouring Iran were killed in the back-to-back blasts after thronging to Iraq’s Shia holy places. The Qaddumiyah shrine was also attacked by a suicide bomber in Spring 2004, killing scores of people.
Iranian pilgrims made up the vast majority of the 56 victims of a suicide bombing at a restaurant just north of the capital yesterday, which itself came hard on the heels of another attack inside Baghdad that slaughtered almost 28 internally displaced people as they gathered to collect food aid from police officers.
The onslaught has recalled some of the worst days of Iraq’s sectarian bombings, when al-Qaeda sought to ignite civil war by blowing up Shia shrines and market places, killing thousands of people.

New, deadly swine flu hits Mexico, may spread
Fri Apr 24, 2009 6:13pm BST
By Noel Randewich and Armando Tovar
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A deadly strain of swine flu never seen before has broken out in Mexico, killing as many as 60 people and raising fears it is spreading across North America.
The World Health Organization said it was concerned about what it called 800 "influenza-like" cases in Mexico, and also about a confirmed outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in the United States. It said about 60 people had died in Mexico.
Mexico’s government said it had confirmed that at least 16 people had died of the swine flu in central Mexico and that there could be another 45 fatal victims.
The government canceled classes for millions of children in its sprawling capital city and surrounding areas on Friday after it noticed a higher number of deaths involving flu-like illness than normal in recent weeks.
"It is a virus that mutated from pigs and then at some point was transmitted to humans," Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova told the Televisa network.
