Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Irans President says 2 or 3 hangings could end market woes Sun. Ahmadinejad was addressing a cabinet meeting held to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation at the Tehran Stock Exchange, the daily Ruznet r eported on Sunday. Ministers and experts disagreed with all the different views and proposal s raised at the meeting, which came to an end without any concrete resul ts. Tempers flew high and participants shouted at each other during the discussion, according to the daily. Frustrated with the inability of his economic advisers and experts to come up with any solution, Ahmadinejad told them that the only way out of the current stock exchange and finan cial market problems was to frighten speculators by hanging two or three of them.
