Quite a dilemma.

The U.S. sees Pakistan as a dubious ally while Pakistan (the government headed by the genrals) can't survive economically without the ongoing influx of U.S. aids while its population supports al Qauda and the Taliban. It's complicated.........

I just go back to doing something simple like picking stocks. By the way, who would know why there is such a huge disconnect between the price of gold and gold stocks, particularly on late?

What's the conspiracy here? What games are the market manipulators playing?
