Both life and investing are following the ancient principles outlined in Tao and I Ching. They change, evolve, never end. Not investing advices.

Interesting. I have been wondering why my daughter and many of her friends have been moved to Europe and chosen to live there.

40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible, per Gallup.

@unusual_whales It’s nice that JP can speak freely of his views, thanks to Mr. TACO and his Department of Injustice.
They always achieve the opposite of their goals, which is just so amusing!

Jerome Powell: "If you look at total core inflation, it's about 3%. Some big chunk of that, around 1/2 or 3/4, is actually tariffs."

@zerohedge G7 is irrelevant. Trump wants G2 to rule the world. If he can’t get it, he would settle for G5: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the great United States of America.

@lhfang There were so many people posting about "the war is about containing China", or "China is cooked". Haven't had much in the last week, though.
I missed the brainless people's cheap entertainment.
English
China will watch every failure of the U.S. and learn from it as the U.S. bleeds debt, allies, material, and control of the gulf fighting Israel’s war. The schizo neocon take from weeks ago that this war was actually about containing China is one of the worst takes of the year.

@hkuppy Well, Dr. Slop has a different view than yours, Kuppy.

I am curious what gives Dr. Torsten Slop of Apollo the confidence that the 4-6 weeks of instability will result in 50 years of stability in the oil market?
English
Trump can TACO, burrito and chimichanga, but nothing will open Hormuz unless Iran wants it open. We can’t go home with Hormuz shut and missiles raining down on our friends. The only way out, is through Iran..
As scary as that sounds, I think we’re going to mobilize serious boots on the ground. That takes 6+ months. No one’s portfolio is positioned for half a year of this chaos…
Kuppy@hkuppy
They had all weekend to think something up. The best they could come up with is sailing into a turkey shoot… Think it’s time to accept the obvious. Hormuz opens when the Iranians want it to open. Only way Trump can force the issue, is troops on the ground, but we need a force projection that is Gulf War 1 or larger in scope to do this. That takes 6 months to assemble and involves calling up reserves. Does Trump dare to do this?? Can the world make it 6 months with Hormuz shut?? Feel damn good to be running long vol and lower gross. Gonna be a great opportunity to gross-up as this becomes apparent to everyone else…

@AzizSapphire Zero for China! It's always amazing to me how the Chinese government prioritizes food and energy security for its people.
Selfish CCP! I was told they are the bad guys all my life.

Just noticed X's auto-spelling changed "Slok" to "Slop". Not my intention, but it appears xAI is actually more right.

@INArteCarloDoss Slok’s belief of 4-6 weeks of war in exchange of 50-years of stability is a bit moronic TBH.

Does it really matter which of these outlandish claims is true and which is not? Trump’s regime is predatory, treacherous and unreliable. This is the problem now and why historic US allies in Europe and GCC feel betrayed and no longer can rely on US security pact.

@unusual_whales If you are 30 or older and still believe nonsense like this from WSJ, you probably don’t have a brain. Go there and see it yourself.

China’s economy is falling behind because of deflation and a weak currency, per WSJ

Show this to the "Iran war is all about cutting off oil to China, and China is cooked" crowd.
Isabella M Weber@IsabellaMWeber
I have studied China for years and have been banging the drum for buffer stocks in essentials like food and energy with Western policy makers. The response was always some version of market fundamentalism: it’s not efficient, it distorts prices etc. Well, here we are.

@DavidLe76335983 Chinese can take HSR trains if there is a jet fuel shortage. They can drive EVs and restrict ICE cars.
Haven't seen any postings about the "Iran war is about China".
Where are they? Too distressed by their high gas bills?
English
Trump said China has 90% of its oil from Persian Gulf
Reality is very different
Oil only account for 1/5 of China energy needs
Of which 70% are imported (14% of energy consumption)
40-50% of these went through Strait of Hormuz (6-7% of energy consumption)
Having 6-7% energy shortfalls will have impact, but not collapsing China
So far China has had no problem getting tankers to pass through Strait of Hormuz
China can also increase its purchase of oil from Russia and other places if there is a shortage
Megatron@Megatron_ron
BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump officially calls for help: “We get less than 1% of our oil from the strait. Some countries get more. Japan 95%, China 90%, and South Korea 35% We want them to come and help us with the Strait of Hormuz”

Thanks to the stupidity of its foes, Iran is now: making more money selling its barrels (which, by the way, are no longer sanctioned) and via a new tollbooth business.
Truly 12D chess. #winning

Financial Times reports that an oil tanker company paid Iran $2 million for secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

@AzizSapphire Thank you for sharing the chart.
I also find Urals at $110/bbl vs. $108 for Brent and $94 for WTI very interesting. Is this the first time Urals exceeded Brent and WTI?

Another interesting graph from J.P.Morgan
This graph plots how oil equity (oil companies stocks) correlates to oil prices volatility. During demand boom, supply shock and supply surplus.
