Ooohhh... I think he's onto something!

I am beginning to suspect that Trump is in a snuff video and that he did the snuffing, considering the level of diversion we are seeing.

With underage children, it's a crime and sin in innumerable ways.
There's a tiny hint of it in the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" but let's just say, infinitely worse.

Not sure it would be "over" reacting.

It isn't only fat cats who have money in the stock market. Lots of 401ks are going red next week.

...when the knee-jerk reaction would have been to sell off and hoard cash for the impending WWIII.

But Iran is not really very strong at all. By Monday morning it will likely be clear that the bluster of Iran doesn't match their capabilities having been kept in a box for decades now through sanctions and periodic strikes. Even other states in the region really do not support them--forcing them to turn mainly to Russia for support. With Russia in a weak position this is probably one of the better opportunities to strike against them--not to justify this action at all; just to try to guess what the repercussions will be.

Other than oil commodities, why would there really be a selloff on Wall Street? Iran has been largely unable to trade with the West for decades. Trade with Iran accounts for only about 0.1% of total EU extra-bloc trade as of 2024, and it accounts for only a few million dollars in annual trade with the U.S. ( https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-country-and-region/countries-and-regions/iran_en )

There may well be a market reaction on Monday--especially factoring after-hours trades--but that is unlikely to be long-lived considering the target here unless some unanticipated escalation from Iran comes to pass. At the moment, Iran's Gulf neighbors look more likely to strike them for firing missiles and drones into their territories than they are to coalesce around any retaliation against the U.S. which would certainly invite a huge reaction in financial markets.

If you have cash this is probably a very good time to add to your portfolio rather than run for the hills IMHO.

at least in the near-term? Or is that an over-reaction?

If oil prices rise significantly, doesn't that ripple throughout the market?

...the Strait of Hormuz open--which seems very likely and has to have been in any plans they made. They don't care much about life, but boy do they seem to care about oil.

There are also plus sides to higher oil prices for our domestic producers. And, it makes renewables less attractive which the Administration will love.

The price of oil will ripple through the markets, but that's fairly constant and should not mean big swings. It will not help inflation however.

But, don't forget that the Biden Administration sold a lot of oil from the strategic reserve at the start of the war in Ukraine in order to keep gas prices in-check when the price went up to around $95 per barrel. When the price came back down to around $75 per barrel they replenished the reserves and made billions in profit for the American taxpayers. ( https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4798299-biden-admin-refills-strategic-petroleum-reserve/ )

You can certainly see the current Administration doing something similar to mute the effect of higher oil prices--but pocketing the profits somehow.

Oh, and, that Venezuelan oil remains pretty much unprofitable at less than around $80 per barrel.... Hmm.
