If we can tie Iran to it, that'd be pretty good. Give us an honest 'in' since they're the seventh and final country on the middle east 9/11 list.

What will probably happen is we will sell more anti-aircraft weapons to the Saudis and they may even buy some from Israel. We may station more Patriot batteries there too.

Funny thing is, you know what the best weapons for most drones are? Good old fashion anti-aircraft guns. Cheap, and very much able to take down low and slow flying drones. To bad we never have enough of them and none deployed in the continental US. Would be very easy for a rogue group to launch one from a tramp freighter at the US.

Sooner or later Iran is going to have their comeuppance and we are going to be involved. The problem is perhaps Russia will be a key player. but some things need attention and Iran is certainly a festering bed of terrorism at present.

That's the truth. Wall Street sets the price on futures based on what they think it'll be worth.
Yup. Similar to beef prices. Boxed beef just keeps holding steady or going up while us beef producers keep getting docked. It's over my head but I think there's too many middle men getting in things and the old rule of supply and demand isn't the only thing to worry about any more.

Go grass fed, grain finished, and sell it to granola hipsters that'll pay top dollar. Organic is so hot right now.

Yeah I'm not gonna even get started on all that marketing bs. Just know that our process yields us a pretty good premium over some other people's cattle. My complaint is the middle men. Our process does have some of them eliminated but there's a bunch more between our buyer and the dinner plate.

There is some truth to that comment. A friend buys and sells on the common market for his living, but he also caters to the grass fed crowd and makes a little more per lb by selling to them at market price without involving anybody but him and the processor. They buy and he delivers to the processor. Then it's between the buyer and the processor. He's out at that point, no middleman to take a slice of the pie.

I get it... but when a bale of cotton only made $400, I didn't feel bad at all buying a both at Affair of the Heart in OKC, selling single unpicked stalks for $15 a pop. You would not believe how stupid people can be with their money. An acre of rustic charm yielded more than the other 159 at the gin. Built a bunch of $60 pine tables too. Beat it with a chain, little stain, little lacquer... Sold those off for an average of $550. That little PITA extra pays dividends.
