General Pat Ryder.

General Pat Ryder Dear investor.   At a press conference, the General provided some additional information as to the U.S. build-up in the Middle East.   It´s so interesting how some in the media request the time and date of U. S. possible military involvement, is totally ridiculous, extremely intelligent hair-scratching questions.   There have been 13 attacks on U.S. soldiers and installations since the conflict started.    The attacks have occurred in Syria and Iraq; all were by groups financed by Iran.   In regards to the possibility of escalation, the General suggested a very high potential for an extended regional conflict.    These terrorist were firing missiles with a range surpassing 2.000 kilometers, it takes just a little more than your average missile garage start-up operation in accomplishing such a flight.   A ground war in an urban area goes against conventional thinking.    Unfortunately, you must clear all possible hiding areas, such as, buildings where snipers and other enemies will wait with a significant advantage. This is the reason for the delayed entry into Gaza.    Keep something else in mind; a war based on economic gain is much easier to negotiate...a war motivated by religious conviction is the one to avoid...sadly...with more than a couple thousand years of practice, changing course now is not likely in the cards.   Israel is waiting  for more U.S. military assets to arrive and beef up all weapons systems.   Investors are also anticipating economic data, specifically on Friday, in which the inflation stats...will almost confirm the Fed´s next decision on rate hikes.    GDP comes in at 4.9%, higher than expected, the market estimate was at 4.7%...however, geopolitical tensions remain a factor.   IMG has ample technical and fundamental information available.   Schedule your appointment now.   Short-term: Headlines are your buying opportunities.   Long-term: Fundamentals are your guide.   Much success to all.
