What I think the media failed to convey in its coverage of the Iran war was the existential urgency felt by both Israeli and Islamic Republic leadership. Many Israelis, though probably not all, have felt since Oct 7 that Iran was literally trying to wipe them out. This was for keeps. Iran for one was not joking. Each month since Oct 7 revealed how vast was the armament Iran had prepared; how realistic was the possibility that the rocket and drone arsenals of the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, combined with their unlimited military manpower coupled with Russian backing could actually destroy Israel. Here was might beyond a major European power. Even now there seems no end to Islamic Republic strength despite 3 years of continuous defeat. No wonder they thought they bombard and attrit the Jews into the sea. But through a reversal of fortune that began in the Russian failure in Ukraine, gained momentum with the collapse of Hezbollah, accelerated with the fall of Assad, reached a crescendo with the disastrous Twelve Day War and resulted the obliteration of its conventional forces in the current war, it is the Islamic Republic that fears for its life. As proof of its desperation the IR has not only attacked the Gulf States, from whom it was not entirely estranged but it has used its ultimate political weapon: it has closed the Straits of Hormuz. There is nothing more in the textbook it can do. Still the alliance came on, relentlessly dismantling the Iranian regimes' armories and foundries literally across the whole vast country. And though there have been trial balloons suggesting a negotiated settlement there is some sense that it's too late for that. One might add perhaps too late since Oct 7; too late since the Twelve Day War. Now the regime in Iran seems set for total war. More of the country is coming under de facto martial law, with recruitment age dropped to 12. Hard liners seek a nuke at all costs to save the regime or as some last act of revenge and by all accounts demand that the US, Israel surrender. The answer is that Ali Fouladvand, head of research at Iran’s Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND) the secret nuclear project, was reportedly killed along with members of his family in an airstrike in Borujerd. To truly grasp the stakes of OEF it is important to grasp how desperate and total the stakes are. Although there are rumors of compromise the air is one of no-quarters struggle. Washington may surrender but Tehran and Jerusalem will not. As I wrote earlier the fight is reaching its most dangerous phase. When the Islamic Republic shouted "Death to Israel! Death to America!" they meant it. It's risky to assume the coalition will stop short of toppling the IR, not because the West wouldn't do it, but because it can't. ynetnews.com/article/syc7d3…



If you compare the bottoming process of the silver and rare earth sector you see that rare earth bottomed later but bounced stronger and is just now breaking out of the handle. The headroom is higher. It think Silver Miners have up to 5X potential this year and Rare Earth Miners up to 10X. Rare Earth Miners are the late comers to the commodities party, but late comers are often the loudest.




Sembra che il +10% dsei bitcoin ieri fosse dovuto al fatto che Jane Street è sotto inchiesta ora e ha smesso...... 1) Avere miliardi di dollari dagli investitori 2) Acquista Bitcoin spot a, diciamo, $ 68k 3) Aprire posizioni corte massicce tramite opzioni o derivati 4) Vendere grandi quantità di BTC in pochi minuti con algoritmi, combinati con bassa liquidità o notizie negative per innescare vendite di panico 5) Il prezzo crolla a 62.000 dollari 6) Chiudere posizioni corte per profitti enormi perdendo solo il 5% sul mercato spot 7) Acquista di nuovo Bitcoin spot a $ 62.000, fai vendite allo scoperto e crea FOMO per spingere il prezzo più in alto 8) Apri di nuovo posizioni corte massicce... In India, Jane Street ha ancora 560 milioni di dollari congelati in un conto di deposito a garanzia presso la SEBI e il caso di manipolazione è in corso. Hanno utilizzato lo stesso algoritmo di manipolazione delle 10 del mattino sui mercati indiani e hanno guadagnato 4,23 miliardi di dollari, il che ha portato a un divieto temporaneo da parte della Securities and Exchange Board of India. La loro strategia è semplice
