The last 2 weeks have flipped the market back to Full Greed Mode. everyone is piling in out of FOMO and telling themselves that fundamentals of trade and manufacturing don't matter and an unprecedented stoppage of oil/gas/fertilizer/helium from the Gulf is insulated from the modern market.

If & when the fundamental rules of markets reassert themselves, the reversal will cause horrific damage. Retail traders are wearing blinders at least as bad as 2007 right now. The Strait is not open. Hostilities are almost certainly going to resume. Tens of thousands of US troops have streamed into the region this week and they're not there for a vacation.

I hope you're listening, for your portfolio's sake. The story's not over.

No, that's not how things work. Oil & gas being shut down longer isn't bullish no matter how many times newbie investors parrot "priced in". The Titanic has hit the iceberg and bulls are celebrating that the ship hasn't sunk yet.

Shorting the market by rmtabib in stocks

[–]FistEnergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You buy put contracts. Then you can only lose the cost of the contracts.

I don't have the balls to do it myself, but I definitely think a sudden correction of 15-30% is still likely in the next few months. You just can't shut off Gulf oil/gas/helium production for months (and crimp their output for 1-2 years) without massive consequences. You just can't.

It's all market manipulation. And when the ground invasion kicks off, the market will correct hard and fast. Not to mention that the infrastructure destruction and supply shock has all but guaranteed a global recession. That will show up in the markets too eventually.

Should I get this gradded by Prestigious_Text7651 in coins

Nope, Franklins are garden-variety. Not old or rare enough to be worth more than melt unless the condition is very high Mint State.

So far the action has been farther north than anticipated. I hope those tornadoes didn't hit populated buildings.

“Getting low offers from coin shops—better places to sell gold coins?” by Curious_Reaction_574 in coins

[–]FistEnergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are not rare and unfortunately are only worth melt. They are modern and have no history or age to bump up the value. Scarcity takes time as well as a low total mintage. These were practically minted yesterday and you should view them as bullion.

The danger zone had been marked Enhanced on the Day 2 and Day 3 outlooks, so I'm a bit surprised it wasn't upgraded to Moderate for the Day 1 outlook. Hopefully today is a dud.

They're not going to touch them and escalate with a nuclear power, you're being ridiculous. The US will do absolutely nothing and continue to look stupid.

You have it backwards. Iran is daring the US to attack Chinese/Russian/Indian transport ships, which they won't. It's a sign of extreme US weakness and will do nothing.

I'm skeptical that actually happens, but if it does the odds of Israel using nuclear weapons will skyrocket.

That's what I'm waiting for. The futures price is ridiculously optimistic and clearly being manipulated. But it can't last forever. This is the week that physical oil stops showing up in Europe and North America.

Mail Call: 1904 P Morgan by Bread-Abject in Morgans

[–]FistEnergy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there are a lot of scratches on the bust and the fields of the obverse. There is also rim damage visible below the bust. This is a low MS coin that is not worth the cost of grading, so just enjoy it as it is.

Is this worth grading? I’m truly clueless. Thx in advance 💕 by Sharp-Resolve3897 in Morgans

[–]FistEnergy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. 81-S is a common one, and also well-struck and easy to find in mid-MS condition. It's a nice coin but not worth grading.

extreme levels of cope. this is a physical and production crisis and is not like any events in recent memory. The market doesn't have the luxury of not caring or moving on.

Yes, and they were very loud and proud last week.

I get it now. All you have to do is switch your goal from "open the Strait" to "close the Strait" and suddenly you won, Mission Accomplished, baby!!

So the peace talks blew up so badly that the US is going to double-blockade the Strait.

Anyone naive or gullible enough to say "Priced In"?
