......oh, but it will last just two more weeks....to those who believe it.

I no longer believe this war is going to end so quickly. It will last.

Vietnam war - 8 years
Afghanistan war - 19.9 years
Iraq war - 22 days
Iran war - 5 to 6 weeks? 90% finished already
Iran has no navy, all ships are sunk, no Air Force, all planes bombed out. Only have missiles & drones & army remain. If electric power stations are bombed, it will be catastrophic for army, government, and people. Teheran already has water shortage. Without electricity can not pump water.

Keep in mind Iran is large country, 79 times bigger than Israel. Lots of places to hide drones. USA & Israel are not sending boots on the ground like the other wars. So Iran can postpone surrender for as long as a year. But the country economy is back to stone age. Iran will have no money to find terrorism via proxies. To keep control over unarmed civilians, IRGC can keep firing drones for a year.

the only target they have obtained so far is devastating the stock market worldwide.

Iran goes on launching 80 missiles and drones per day. Given that their defense is broken..........

I build profiting positions then....one time it's the tariffs, then the war......and I have to re-start from zero. Every time.........

I like when theocratic idiots are wiped out, but when you do that you have to consider how much that costs to you and sometimes it might be better a repeated, over the long term, limited action rather than causing such 

 

a worldwide instability with a single action.

Theocratic governments are like cancer. Requires radical surgery, otherwise cancer always comes back. Temporary pain is always better than permanent death.

pdx5 you have used the right word to call these idiot fanatics, but if you decide to erase them then do it quickly. Do that as heavily as you want, but quickly otherwise the stock market goes undergound.

Stock market is 3 times higher than in 2020. It is overpriced. It needs healthy correction to keep going higher.

Overvalued market is always searching for bad news to correct itself. Everything is fine. Stock market is still overvalued but in no danger of a crash.
