https://www.wsj.com/articles/leader-of-iranian-revolutionary-guard-s-foreign-wing-killed-11578015855 Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ foreign wing, was killed in a strike on his convoy in Iraq, according to Iraqi political and military allies and Iraqi State TV. Top Iraqi paramilitary commander Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes was killed alongside Mr. Soleimani when the convoy they were traveling in together was struck on the road leading to Baghdad International Airport. Major trouble ahead. Soleimani is one of the highest ranking officials in IRGC. Fasten your seat belt - there will be blood!
ES futures are tanking with serious volume and crude oil CL has rocketed with the news. It could be a bloody day tomorrow. I took a short position in /ES at 3242 shortly after the news came out. We'll see how this goes.
Stop loss set to 3248. If I don't get stopped out I'll likely hold this as a runner into tomorrows trading session.
Top Iranian IRGC and Iraqi Military Officials Killed in Baghdad So? I am no fan of the human turd-train called Trump, but this has nothing to do with Thrump, with U.S. markets, or with ANYONE but • Iran, and • the idiot general's presence in the *very* wrong place and at *precisely* the wrong time. In other words, they asked for it. For *years* they have asked for it. They have thumbed their noses at civil society, and have repeatedly attacked innocents. Having gotten a bloody nose, • don't whine that the bully 'aggressed' on you, and certainly • don't be thinking that it's time for you to 'retaliate', cuz • you will be crushed, and • you were in the wrong, and when you're crushed, no one will care. I am by nature a raw, dyed-in-the-wool peace-nik, who happens to KNOW the truth of Si vis pacem, para bellum. Oh, and Market Impact? ZERO. mkt down 27pts to 3232: BTfD.
Whether or not you feel it’s deserved is irrelevant. US nuked a big shot. US basically said, “Yea we did it, now don’t try anything funny”. Iran responding there will be revenge. “Market impact ZERO” is a bold statement to make...
Ah, this is the news Vanz must've been talking about. Well, good thing I'm still long defense and war mongering Republicans are still compensate for their tiny dicks.
Of course no intention to take any attention away from impeachment. Time for generation Z to march off to war. They have not had theirs yet.
I'm not going to ask how you know that. But since you are referring to all war mongering Republicans...you must have sampled quite a lot to obtain a sample size with sufficient statistical confidence to support your certainty.
