Plenty of Iraqis alive today that wouldn't have been if Saddam were still in business.

The vast majority of Iraqis are very happy Saddam is gone.

Blair will survive.

Bush will survive.

Saddam will not survive.

Shorts will not survive this secular bull market.

Todd Market Forecast

September is just around the corner and it has a reputation as the markets worst month. With this in mind, we had a theory. Would it be even more inclined to drop if August, another poor month, had rallied? We found that in the years 1993, 1994, 2000 and 2002, this is exactly what happened. The years 1995, 1997 and 1998 had a down August and an up September. The year 1996 saw both months up. The years 1999, and 2001 saw both August and September down. In summary, only one year out of ten had both months up and only four years saw an up September. This, we might add, was in the midst of the greatest bull market in history. We might also add that according to the Stock Traders Almanac, September is the only month since 1950 to be down more often than up. That same publication states that September tends to rally in the early part of the month and then give it up later.

More blowm pipelines in IRAQ

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Half of Baghdad is without running water and streets have flooded after a pipeline exploded Sunday from an apparent act of sabotage, military officials said.

The water pipeline burst in the Adamiya neighborhood, coalition spokesman Charles Heatley told reporters.

Two oil pipelines have also exploded and caught fire in Iraq this weekend. Although all three pipelines seem to have been sabotaged, Heatley said military officials don't believe the attacks were the work of an organized group.
