No one should make a mistake, much of this stock market has been willing participant in support of this insane person

the White House.

This destruction of Iran has been going on for forty days, and the stock market has for the most part been dismissing it.

That being said, what trump seems to have accomplished is not only alienating our allies against us, but in all likelihood has ushered in an even more radical regime in Iran, and in probably turned those Iranians that were pro-western against us.

Mostly algos and market manipulation by insiders. It’s hard to make any sense otherwise.

When it looks like the oil will flow, the market goes up. When it looks like the oil won't flow, the market goes down.
Trump plays a key role in whether oil flows or doesn't flow by what he says from day to day.
Two week cease fire today? Markets will go up.
