    Just as I predicted....

    See how all this missed opportunity comes overnight. Could have been a spectacular day

    Oil only up a buck and change. Too bad. I wanted it up over 5% so I could short the fu$k out of it. Not cool. I wouldn't doubt oil trading below 63 by Friday

  4. Let the hand wringing begin. Smart move is to do nothing and see what develops. They launch another attack, cut loose with everything we have.

    there's chatter of preemptive warning to the Americans through proxies and face saving by the Iranians. I fear Trump may be too dumb to pick up on it if true

    Basically Russian airstrip bombing 2.0

  6. That's what I tend to believe at this point. I would be disappointed if Trump mis-reads the tea leaves.

    Trump aint mis-reading anything.. you guys are overestimating your own thinking skills.. Our president built the biz empire in the ages when the mafia had an hand in everything.. remember that. He plays 4D chess when you are thinking tic tac toe.

    That's the big question at this point. If nobody killed and no equipment damaged, I doubt we'll respond and the markets will recover fast. If someone is killed, get ready for a sell off and a war.

    The guy killed the top general over like $300 worth of embassy damage, don't doubt we'll respond.

    It's starting to sound like this was just a big fireworks display for show. Iran just wanted to save face by looking like they did something in response. The ball is in Trump's court now. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
