the Dow just hit 50 000
And don't worry, it will be back there "soon". The strait will be open "soon". The war will be over "soon". I just need a definition for "soon" from the administration dictionary so I can lever up accordingly.

So the countries are...

Laos, Liechtenstein, and Slovenia.

Well done, little man. At least someone loves you putting them in harm's way while YOUR navy cowers well away from the Strait scratching its butt because it didn't think through this probability of mines being laid in the Strait.
But you don't want Ukraine's assistance because it would make you look weak. Well Played!

This worked very well in Yemen...........

This illegal terroristic attack on Iran will reshape the world. western hegemony is not collapsing because of Iran, it is collapsing under the weight of its own moral decay. Gaza genozide already exposed the moral bankruptcy of the west.

- Read any undoctered historical books that depicts intricate details of empires and their demise, which almost always stem from moral decay that leads to lack of legitimacy.

Poor Venezuela, got caught right at the end

/CL up a little, over $100; and /ES working on an initial gap up also. The two can't live together for long.

{quote} I don't see any /es gap up....maybe your chart rolled contracts over the weekend?
not sure re: candles but the numbers show /ES just up 13, so ur right. /CL up $1.50. Asian equity sessions have been swinging wildly, so we'll see how it goes. I have been heavily short SPX over the weekends last several weeks, really none of that has panned out all that well. imo equities are not even close to pricing in all the risks that are current.

A war over dirt the imaginary god of both peoples gifted them to fight over in his name. And if they were born in Cambodia they would be Buddhist.
yeah, ok. The Camodians still find a way to fight over dirt, also. Everybody fights over dirt.

Truth. Don't want a repeat of last week. Let's see if it works. It hasn't jiggled weekend pricing much (https://www.ig.com/en/indices/market...oil---us-crude), but that liquidity is next to nothing and can't be relied upon other than "sentiment".

Of course the lack of plan details (and until confirmation from other countries) will lead to uncertainty remaining.

Iran "let" 2 Indian tankers through this weekend (according to India), so maybe that is the temporary play for certain less-US-friendly countries to keep the lifeblood flowing.

.....and then, of course, there is the fact that Trump hasn't "Truthed" anything about it yet....normally you would get a "fake news" call out by the President for WSJ reporting, BUT, this one may just have been leaked a bit to soften the blow.

I don't see any /es gap up....maybe your chart rolled contracts over the weekend? If you change to continuous contracts (or just look at the /esm26...or /esh26), you'll see there was no 'gap up'. There was a gap down (looking at /esh26 specifically) that ran up to Friday's cash close before retracing. We'll see where things land.

I'd really like to see a market confound expectations and rally like crazy (a la last week). Obviously, today is a different situation than last week, but one can dream.

Well just announce it then! Why do you always need a pre-pre announcement tweet? Very needy and weird, this man is.
The administration didn't tweet this information. Keep that in mind. Do they "leak" things? Sure. But without official confirmation...

And you talk of moral decay…

The straight is their only leverage, i believe they'll protect it with all their might. Israel's move to get everyone's hands dirty under the threat of survival? Think oil peaked unless their's a world war
