Did Pat Robertson make money by publicly calling for the murder of Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela?

Political-economic analyst Al Martin says, "Pat's comments created a so-called 'flight to quality' bid in both the September long bonds and the Sep. dollar cntracts."

Martin, whose website InsiderIntelligence.com
specializes in market trading advisories, says that "Robertson sufficiently roiled the markets by creating a political rift. This was a problem which in turn created a 'flight to quality' in US assets because assets came out of Venezuela after he made those remarks on the 700 Club that Hugo Chavez should be killed."

"What's interesting to note," Martin continues, "is that a fund that Robertson is a large investor in, one of the deep offshore Smart Republicn Money trading pools, was a substantial purchaser of the Sep long bond and dollar contract indexes last night (Aug 22) just before he made those remarks.
