@goodalexander @DeepDishEnjoyer As soon as they closed the strait it was too late for TACO. Damage is done, elevated oil prices will crush growth for a long time to come.

@DeepDishEnjoyer I'm balls deep in S&P futures shorts waiting for them to roll out the Black Monday boomer for the CNBC viewership I believe the TACO will come after a limit down

why are you people so dumb

@EarlOfHurl Accepting defeat after causing irreparable damage to the world.

@sistineresearch ? what is it then.

Trump could evacuate every military personnel in a 1,000 mile radius of Iran and it wouldn’t undo the damage done. There is no TACO, you’re mentally handicapped if you think leaving now classifies as “chickening out”.

@calvinfroedge Grok says this is fake news

And now we get the US export bans US caps the WTI price Chaos for allies and trading partners US producers get f***ed Global economy crashes

The consensus that Hormuz will be re-opening in the near future remains the most incorrect assumption I’ve ever seen. Many mispricings in the market as a result.

Trump starts WW3, S&P 500 flat. They list S&P 500 on a crypto perp dex, immediately down. Lesson in that.

@Darth_G_XLS30D 0% chance

@sistineresearch There are a few more possibilities…. Iranian people retake control, but let’s not let a possible good outcome creep into your outlook.

All paths lead to escalation. 1] Trump leaves the region and Iran maintains control of the Strait. Iran keeps it closed as long as they want or until US/Israel agree to pay immeasurable reparations (which they won't). Strait remains closed to most. 2] Israel runs out of interceptors in a few weeks. Total destruction of Israel leads to them using nuclear option out of desperation. 3] In order to avoid [2], US sends ground invasion to try to fully defeat Iran (this will fail for obvious reasons). We're in a situation where the best possible outcome (and least likely) is Iran maintaining restriction of the Strait of Hormuz for as long as they choose until US vacates the region and Israel ceases all attacks + pay reparations.
