I can’t reply to every single comment, so here it is:
1) I am not a supporter of the current admin. I’m well aware of all the stupid things they’ve done. But at least this time, they’ve set a proper bait for the sake of justification—isn’t that at least some progress?
2) I also know it won't be very effective. Insurance isn't the issue here. What kind of idiot shipowner would risk physical attack just to enter the strait?
3) If the US plans to wait in the Gulf of Oman instead of actually escorting ships into the SoH, then it’s even more meaningless.
4) Sure Trump and Bibi might not strictly need a reason to resume airstrikes. But public image and domestic opinion still matter.

It looks like Iran is left with only two choices: sit back and watch the US Navy escort ships through the strait, losing all their leverage, or respond militarily to protect it.
The former would gut their bargaining power, while the latter gives the US and Israel the perfect excuse to restart hostile military operations.
We all know what Iran is going to choose. The moment their speedboats fire a shot, US and the IDF will drop the missiles.
Tbh i think Washington played this one pretty smart. They’ve set the bait perfectly.

Trump post on Iran/shipping Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly, and violently, for all to see, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are locked up in the Strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do with — They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders! For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business. Again, these are Ships from areas of the World that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East. I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all. The Ship movement is merely meant to free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong — They are victims of circumstance. This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran. Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for largescale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner. I think it would go a long way in showing Goodwill on behalf of all of those who have been fighting so strenuously over the last number of months. If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

What bait? We stopped firing. Then Iran stopped firing 20 minutes later. How long are we going to be escorting 150 ships per day? Sounds slow and expensive. We lose every which way possible here. We is the fucking assholes like me that are going to pay the bill one way or another. Do you see the problem here?

@CRUDEOIL231 @DVSignals Why do you have it in your mind as if Iran is backing down?

Oil companies are constantly threatened to be shut down. Why would they invest in more refineries. This is their opportunity to score the money they will need for future investment. If you dont realize. Its a very capital intensive business. Plus we need no less than Canadian heavy to make jet and diesel fuel. Greeeen enerrrrrgy maaaaannnn. Now we want more oil
English
On what planet does it makes sense to send our oil overseas when gas is approaching $5/galllon ?
Fascism is when the state and corporations merge and ban free speech punishing dissenters.
We are there. Instead of building more refineries so we can reduce the cost of gasoline and jet fuel, we are allowing oil companies to export for massive profits.
When does anyone put Americans first?

@shawzsav I wish. The problem is we live in a democracy and the morons voted for a moron and the moron won

When we look back on why Trump won this election, it won't be because he was a better choice. Kamala was more than qualified. She was one of the most qualified persons to run for office in a very long time.
She offered Americans $25,000 towards their first home. She offered $50,000 to small businesses. She offered intelligence and critical thinking.
Yet, Amerca decided to go with dimwitted criminal with 34 felony counts, a convicted sexual abuser, a fail businessman, accused of being a pedophile who tried to overthrow the government.
As we look at the absolute chaos trump has caused in one year, the is was it worth it? Who's benefiting from Trump being the president?
Why didn't Kamala win?

@covie_93 Do you know what an actual republican wants? To keep the money he earns. His own personal rights. To be left the fuck alone. Not more not less
English
@covie_93 Real republicans do not stand by whatever this is. It shouldn't be allowed to have that label. Those are something different. Thats a hard fact.

@Invest_Brandon The real floor being lifted is the bloating of price to earnings. The market is going up. So be it. Buying a Ford at Ferrari prices is not everyone's style
English
THE STOCK MARKET IS DOING THE UNTHINKABLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US
84% of companies beating EPS
81% beating revenue
And people are still calling for a crash.
Read that again.
This is not a weak market being propped up by hype.
This is a market being driven by REAL earnings strength.
When profits are this strong, prices HAVE a reason to go higher.
That is how markets work over time.
Everyone wants to fight the move because it feels too fast.
But the reality is simple
EPS is strong & share prices will follow that in the long run.
Will we get pullbacks? Of course
But the floor is rising underneath you while you wait
English
@Invest_Brandon Compare YOY instead. Beating a projection means nothing

@DonMiami3 Huh? This is the new reality. It only gets worse as that debt starts compounding even faster

How long do we consider prices to be unstable over the long-run? The Fed has failed on its inflation mandate for 5 years.

@Running_Ryan @jacksonhinklle Ukraine is a corrupt shithole as well

You mean the same Russia that leads the world in human sex trafficking and child porn is lecturing us about degeneracy? You are morally bankrupt Jackson because you take money and talking points from this asshole. You are propped up by Russian oligarchs, mafia, and government officials that were all former communists and long for the return of the USSR - the most evil nation to ever exist. You are a complete political cuck Hinkle.

🇷🇺 Putin: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it seemed to us that we would quickly become members of the so-called civilized family of European nations."
"Today it turns out that there is no civilization there, only complete degeneracy."

@TradingThomas3 Hey clown show. Not everyone is a degenerate, gambling on way over priced momentum stocks

@TradingThomas3 @Whatathingtodo1 What are you doing with your $400b? O that's right
English
@Whatathingtodo1 you know annuaized inflation last 5 years is around 4-5% right?
🤣

Can someone explain this?
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway currently holds $397B in cash.
A year ago, it was ~$300B.
If they had simply invested that into S&P 500 $VOO last year, they’d be ~$1B richer today.
Have they stopped needing growth, or stopped trusting the US economy?
English
@b_co_co If I was sitting on $400b in cash im taking the free 3.5% with no risk. There is no inflation problem with that much cheese

@designerofevery @NoLimitGains defaulting would pretty much destroy the United States for decades

@NoLimitGains The gov could chose to just cancel it and everything would be fine.
