Someone Explain To Me About The Invisible Hand Of The Market [View all]

I am as stupid as hell when it comes to the market, but what I see today makes me believe the markets are being cajoled.

Petrochemical plants are being blown up, explosions on Kharg Island, tonight is Krasnov's Armageddon Day for Iran. blowing up nuclear power plants is WW III shit. The radiation released will affect other countries besides Iran.

The Houthis are threatening to disrupt another strait.

I fully expected to see crude oil skyrocket to at least $125.00/barrel if not higher.

The DOW is down a meager 200 points.

Is the Invisible hand of the market more reliable when a Democrat is president?

Are these billionaires manipulating the markets the same way they fluff Trump?

Last but not least, when Krasnov says he is going to kill them all, glory to God, the markets need to respond to an openly demented, maniacal president. The fucking world is rooting for Iran for fuck's sake.
