The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

The stock market has been trying to ignore the war in Iran.

I was watching TYT last night, when Cenk went on a rant about the people on Wall Street being the dumbest in the world. The market seems to be floating, over the last six weeks, on near daily assurances that USian victory is imminent, and everything will be Jim-dandy...because that is what they want to hear.

Iran denies that it has agreed to surrender it's enriched U. This morning, the wire is buzzing with news that, as the US did not end it's blockade, Iran has closed the Strait again. Iranian gunboats, which supposedly had all been sunk, opened fire on a tanker this morning, to confirm the closure.

Woe to those who were shaken out of their positions in big oil Friday.
