Manipulating markets, lying to the public, attacking Iran with zero plan thereafter, making a fool of himself on social media…..
Sounds great to be on board with all of that.

The Dow is down 145. WTI is @ 87. Seems like the markets don't share your expectation for catastrophe.


Things can only be manipulated for so long


Wti may be trading at $87, go and check out the price of physical oil.

Paper oil can be manipulated, physical can’t.

Instead of hurling insults, why don’t you enlighten on what the end game is? The continued kabuki dance to keep markets pumped is an insult to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

You don't understand him. You're not alone. It's going to be okay. Good luck with your emotions today.

I have, elsewhere, as have others. It's a discussion for a different board though.

To be a 3X'er, you seem unhinged and disturbed. Knowing that you are a realtor, and also witnessing your moody behavior. You are a biological female, correct?

They are your statements. It's up to you to prove their veracity, not for others to refute. Fact is, none of your statements are facts, but rather, your opinions.

You may believe them, but others on this board don't.

Fine, I’ll continue to buy oil, you continue to buy the broad market. Let’s see how this plays out.

Where do you think oil would be if we had President Harris? Gotta use/drill less because of Climate change. How would that work out? I prefer drill, baby, drill, don't you?

What about the border? Do you think it would be shut down?

Trade deficits - lower or higher?

Epstein files? More of what Biden did? What Epstein files?

Trump has done a hell of a lot, including take down the Ayotollah - something that should have been done a long time ago. As long as Iran is a rogue Nation, there will never be peace in the middle east, and we'll never have a 2 state solution. We don't know what comes next, but you can bet that a deranged Iran will be less influential and the next leader won't waste their time getting enriched uranium.

This is not a binary thing. I wouldn’t vote for Harris if she was the last candidate on earth, and I don’t buy the man made climate change nonsense at all. I’m very supportive of the oil and gas industry fwiw.

Yeap, very supportive of it being closed to illegals. Do I think we should have made such a huge scene rounding up people who were here, I don’t. He deported roughly the same amount that Obama did, but brought tons of negative attention due to the way it was handled.

I agree they needed to be brought to heel, but at this point it doesn’t seem like we have any clue on a path forward. Iran isn’t going to cave to our demands, we’re not caving to theirs, the only path forward is to bomb them until they submit. The continued jawboning only worsens the long time pain.

Care to refute your opinions??? I think pointing out your are melting hard and unhinged right now would be enough.

Seriously, you need to step away and relax. If you truly are a 3X'er, let the man do his job. You have opinions, he has actual real data to act on.

This thread was more interesting when it was talking about money and market responses to current events rather than just bickering over the current events.

The short term market profits should not be the primary driving force for decisions.

We agree on that, but the continued nonsense that Trump keeps posting saying a deal is done, near, etc etc is where we diverge. The continued market suppression and the curiously timed trades around such will only make things worse in the long run.
