Worked for some of the biggest asset managers who never let me run with my multibagger investment ideas. Here to give them to you. Not investment advice.


NOW: "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP"














This might age poorly, but I remain bullish on oil (and incrementally more so with each passing day) until there's a real reopening of Hormuz, independently of what the parties involved declare. The reason is simple: outside of blowing up other Gulf infra and escalating, Iran's only leverage is Hormuz, and this leverage increases with each day that the world is in deficit. This means anything BUT opening favors Iran, and is bullish oil. This includes declaring that there's a deal and even signing a deal. The only thing that matters is reopening the Strait.


BREAKING: Iran says talks have now "completely stalled" due to Trump's positions and actions, saying that as long as Trump does not accept all of Iran's demands in the draft, the 60-day negotiation period has no chance of beginning and Iran won't sign, per a source close to Iran's Ghalibaf. Vance's new statements say the deal involves "no cash" and "no funds released for signing," while Iran's draft requires the US to release $24 billion in frozen funds and pay Iran $300 billion in war reparations before Iran signs anything. There clearly isn't an agreement.
