De-Nuking Iran What will happen in the markets

Everyone suspects that strategic and tactical Pentagon planners have already plotted the bombing runs and the target  grid coordinates for its missiles and flight paths for the attack plans. Major fleet ships in the area standing by. This is a normal practice for a standing and ready military force. One bit of information needed, when will President Bush give the final order to strike. TIMING!

Bush's approval ratings are already very low  because the Iraq operation is going well and he can not stand for re-election. At this point you can bet that with little to loose politically Bush is free to and will do what he thinks is in the best interest of the US and its allies. Bush will not allow a leader like Ahmdinejad to control nuclear a arsenal.

So, what will happen when the first missile hits its target??

The Straits of Hormuz will be closed for a time thus cutting off 80% of the middle east oil. Oil prices will hit the roof with minutes. $100-$200 p/b crude prices will be almost immediate. Gas prices in the US will hit $7-10 a gallon and the US economy will quick downward spike.  The energy stocks of the big oil companies that rely on crude are going to tumble.

So knowing what we know,  where should we put our money NOW?
