[AGENDA21]

Tehran, April 26 - Oil Minister Kazem Vaziri Hamaneh said on Wednesday that the establishment of Oil Stock Exchange is in its final stage and the bourse will be launched in Iran in the next week.

He told reporters, upon arrival from Qatar where he attended the 10th General Assembly of International Energy Agency and consultations with OPEC member states, that registration of the Oil Stock Exchange is underway and the entity will operate after being approved by by Council of Stock Exchange.

He rejected a statement attributed to him saying that Oil Stock Exchange will bring to the ground the US economy and said, "I don't know who has speculated that I've not talked about US economy." Asked about conference on energy in Doha, he said that more than 60 countries and 30 oil companies and consultants took part in the conference.

Vaziri Hamaneh said that serious discussions were held including security of supply and demand, security of investment in energy and environment issues.

1. Iran

I think the Iranians should respectfully name the new Bourse the 'George Bush Eat Shit and Die Petroleum Market.'

2. Bombs Away

n/t

5. Doesn't say what currency will be used.

Though I'm not certain that it matters.

Something... fakeish... about that site.

[puerco-bellies]

6. Initially the Iranians were talking about using the Euro Currency

"Bombs Away" Might be on the mark... :-(

8. If it happens -- the Bourse has been postponed a number of times

already.

I don't know why I'm feeling dubious about this -- I was following the Bourse news very closely for a while, but no one seemed to know exactly what's going on.

There is something odd and propagandaish about that site. Of course, I could be wrong -- guess we'll know soon enough!

9. we'll know by next week...not long to wait.
