"You think it’s a coincidence that the Iranians announced this “new bourse” just when the dollar sank to 30-year lows? I definitely don’t. In fact, I’d say they’re only doing this because the dollar is so low. Seriously, if you wanted to sucker punch the buck, then now’s the time to do it." — Sean Hyman |

As you probably heard, Iran’s Internet lines were cut recently. So there’s no way to tell if this new “non-dollar bourse” is officially up and running just yet.
