The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This morning, the markets fly, and oil crashes, on the latest "peace is at hand" pronouncement, while Trump, again, threatened utter devastation if Iran does not submit.

Another Ben Meiselas piece. The interesting bit is at the 9:45 mark: massive short positions, nearly $1B, taken on oil this morning, minutes before Trump the Magnificent made his latest "peace is at hand" claim. Pull up a chart of WTI and you will see a big spike down, much lower than what the quote was during most of the day. Then, after the loot was made, Trump the Conqueror starts walking his claim back.
