As a word of caution, aside from King Abdullah I highly discourage a Sunni investor. The socio-religious uproar might galvanize Iran and increase short term output and profits, but the whole Shi'a - Sunni schism just doesn't bode well for long term appreciation of this instrument.
Q. So you're donating 50% of the proceeds to the Red Cross, I see...
A. Indeed. Iran's government doesn't seem to remember that "The Great Satan" donated money and materiel following the 2003 Bam earthquake, but that won't stop me from doing my little part.
Q. But why only 50%, Mr. Stingypants?
A. Remember what I said above about resodding my lawn? To be able to do that on Iran's dime would be priceless.
Q. Starting bid of only $.99? Why so cheap?
A. Where am I, a mere U.S. infidel, to place a fixed value on a culture as old and vibrant as that of Persia? I'd rather float it IPO style to see what value the market places on this one of a kind investment. But you can buy it now for the not-so subtle price of $197,900!
Also, two words: Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.
So what are you waiting for? Take a chance. Take a risk. Own the Iranian Regime today!
