Honestly no idea, during covid it was airlines and cruise ships but I think we're in for a much longer slump there, if some companies don't straight up go bankrupt.
My theory is that plastic is undervalued and it'll take a while for the cost shock to make it up the way of existing stock. Once oil gets expensive, plastic will be fairly valued for its' mechanical properties

Chinese stock markets are much more regulated than the American ones, I think it's that way in Asia in general. The SK stock market has breakers for just 10% daily gain. Maybe as a hedge, but I don't think they're good for speculation. It might be the end of highly speculative markets like the NYSE if this crisis is bad enough

That's kinda where I'm at too but BTC is too contentious in this thread typically. Has MSTR changed at all mechanically? I know that's even more divisive than BTC, but previously by holding MSTR, any dilution that occurred increased your BTC per share, so it was effectively a leveraged Bitcoin hold. If Bitcoin goes well in the next decade, MSTR will be like a global BTC bank.

Stable value is the best I'm hoping for cause if oil hits that high it's gonna be a massive recession, who knows what's gonna exactly happen. This gamble is already enough risk and I've watch "guh" enough times

More from the Arabs (Tasnim):
> The Iranian delegation's meetings with the Pakistani army chief and the prime minister to coordinate positions and object to the United States' reneging on its commitments
> The talks with the Pakistani government preceded the negotiations with the American side
>The discussions between Iran and the United States first took place at the level of the main delegations, then at the level of technical teams, and continued for more than 21 hours in total
> During the talks, Iran put forward new initiatives and sought to push the American side towards greater realism
> The excessive American demands prevented the reaching of a common framework for negotiation
> After Pakistani efforts and mediation to hold an additional round of talks and exchange texts since dawn today, the negotiations ended without results amid the continuation of the same American approach
> During the negotiations, Iran put forward reasonable initiatives and proposals, and the ball is now in the United States' court to deal with the issues realistically
>The American administration, as well as having failed in its military calculations, has also made mistakes in its negotiating estimates so far
> There will be no change in the situation of the Strait of Hormuz unless the United States shows readiness to accept a reasonable agreement
> No time or place has been set yet for a possible new round of negotiations
>>

>>62105763
This is fascinating. So what I have gleaned from a quick read is that The Iranian government jacked BP's facilities there to make their own oil company which still exists today. The British then backed a CIA coup in order to try getting it back but the Americans told them to "share it".

I think you're too schizominded. If the dollar died, another fiat currency would just become the world reserve, probably either the pound or the euro (or perhaps something asian, like the yen or the yuan)
perhaps BTC and silver/gold would receive a temporary boost, but nothing permanent.

how is that schizominded? You're agreeing with it, just assuming some exit timing and implying I'd be holding for life or something. I'm not saying the dollar will die, either, but the market can and will run on narrative alone. If there's any real fear of that happening, things like gold and BTC will moon - potentially forming a new floor for the foreseeable future.

Has anyone else been reading fintwt and wallstreetbets through the war and especially the past week? I assumed there would be some people who were loading up on calls or predicting a market downturn but they were almost unanimous in thinking this was nothing and the war was basically over and the market would pump soon, and if anything oil futures were too high. Just insanely mentally retarded people that don't know anything about geopolitics, war, elasticity of demand, supply chains. You still have people on WSB posting right now that on Monday the market will be green and oil won't change much because this doesn't matter. Just goycattle exit liquidity for hedge funds, it's honestly really sad.

I'm gonna wait to see how Bitcoin does with sky high energy prices. It might cause a lot of forced selling and liquidation from mining companies, like complete liquidations and going out of business. Which would lower the hash rate, which correlates with price being lower, which creates a potential death spiral scenario for cheapies if you time it right.. Maybe.
>>62105829
Again, all it takes is speculation on a narrative or increased desire to hedge against the event for prices to increase, not a realization of the collapse. If the risk is elevated, capital will outflow from USD.

>The Iranian government jacked BP's facilities
I dont read it that way, there is a lot more to the story. The English shit all over the middle east and arabs and persians and basically controlled the country and oil and were taking most of the profits from the Iranian oil. Mosseddegh wanted a fair share for the Iranian people (its their oil) and 'renegoteiated' the unfair deal. English cried to Eisenhower who sent Kermit Rossevelt (yes same family) to run a coup against Iran and take back control of the oil and install the Shah, and with the help of the CIA and MI6 created the sevak, a brutal intelligence/police agency to go after anyone who questioned the Shah. This lead to the persians getting pissed and setting the state for Khomeine to come back from exile in France to take over Iran (funny how the French let Khoemeine leave France to go to Iran to take over. The CIA new what was going on and let US embassy employees stay to get taken "hostage" to fuck over Carter. Who was head of the CIA when Carter was elected president.......George HW Bush who carter fired.

>>62105834
I'm copeful, I pulled my money out of my Stocks & Shares ISA and I wanna put it back in during the dip, but now I'm sceptical if there even will be one.
Unfortunately, what you describe is the very reason it might just stay the same. If that's global investor sentiment, then the market very much may be green on monday just through pure copium alone.

I mean, I'm still praying for market go red, personally. I'm just saying it's very possible, if enough people ignore the reality of the situation, for the line to keep going up. I mean, that's what's been happening for the entire last week, the market's been surviving on false hope and lies from the US.

what you and the other anon aren't getting is that if there's an increased perceived risk of the event happening, which there will be if the war continues, then a theoreitcal optimal portfolio must hedge against it, and big money definitely uses optimal portfolio theory.

nuclear is a limited but very powerful (no pun intended) tool in the renewable toolbox
nuclear is viable in regions with very high population density and a wealthy, well educated workforce (think places like Europe and Japan) but is not viable in places with a low population density (like Australia) or regions that are underdeveloped. It is also important to note that nuke plants are hideously expensive and take ages to build, so they are massive and risky investments for any government that doesn't already have one
>>
>>62105872
the big oil companies are, ironically enough, best positioned to jump on the renewables train as they have huge amounts of capital and already control much of the worlds energy infrastructure, but you have to be careful about the human factor, rich old CEOs don't like doing new things especially if it involves admitting they were wrong in process

first three in pic have good dividends, and are down hard the last year, so its not just general mills. Its good to slowly rotate into a sector when it sells off hard (provided its cyclical and not something that is destroying the industry) to get better prices and good dividends. If you like the sector buy slowly on the way down because you do not know where the bottom is and the price can rebound sharply (you miss the bottom). I am definitely looking at the first three, thanks for bringing these to my attention.

>if you like holding crap
STRC looks like a crap stock, where as the food ones, general mills, campbells, and conagra are large companies that been around and provide food people need, and the dividends are getting better. Trump scared off a lot of the cheap illegal labor, for now, I suspect they will be let back in to support the fortune 500 companies and increase their profits., But the high oil prices are also going increase food costs so I think the down turn is stil going for a while longer.

So glad I didn't sell my long dated puts even tho they are bleeding like a bitch.
I bought lots of short dated oom calls in case of deal so so will sting to lose that money immediately at open but the long dated puts are still there, should make up for it and then some. My retard fomo back into oil calls on Friday will probably be up too. Oil is a small position. There's a lot of gambling going on right now. Fun times.

The market is not going to get bloody until the physical reality of the strait's closure hits gas prices and other vital resources affected by the war
Really you could probably see a burgeoning coup, something far more volatile and longlasting than J6, take place in America right now and the market will still hold relatively study for at least a day or two. Everyone knows if the music stops it's not starting back up for a long time

Same, if this doesn’t crash hard this weekend though I’m toast. Way over-leveraged, I kept doubling down on puts during that run up from $630. Biggest position is in a 4/17 643P/638P spread, so breakeven around $641 and max profit $638.
Might dump it at open idk. Hope we get some blood red action next week.

The strait is open provided you meet Iran's terms. Iran's tankers are sailing no problem. Taco is threatening to stop all traffic or at least stop Iran's tankers. The only way is for US Navy to intercept the tankers after they leave. Iran let two US warships in, now they can be targeted by Iran.

From what I've read, US refineries are not the type needed to refine most of the oil in the US, why it's that way I have no idea. The world can't just replace a 20% loss in oil so the US will still be bidding against multiple nations for what little oil is left

Refineries buy blends, nobody uses straight WTI or Brent which are simply financial instruments and don't even have to come from those places so long as they meet the correct gravity and sulfur content. US refineries were setup during the energy crisis to process oil from the mideast as a result we still import some their oil and export some of ours. Refineries haven't reoptimized their distillation towers due to cost and downtime leaving them as they are as a sort of hedge. NIMBYs prevented any new refineries.
>>
>>62106023
The upside is that since USA produces so much oil they will get a lot of money from higher prices, unlike EU or China who'll just have to lose money.
Russia probably getting happy too, maybe that's why Ukraine being so active targeting the russian refineries.

Anthropic caused SaaS to sell off, but SaaS doesn’t use energy to the same extent AI does, nor does it have the same debt and whatnot. Maybe this is a good time to buy stuff like Cloudfare to bet on a bounce back?

Can AI replace CloudFlare? If not then yeah, I'd buy.
I don't think it has to do with debt or energy, because the idea is that clients will use ai instead of the software, and they don't care if openAI is in the shitter

I would say the paper futures market has been a stabilizing force. If oil markets were primarily spot price driven like they were 20 years ago prices would have already seen $200 WTI. Instead we get these 'delusional' dislocations from real world conditions until things are smoothed over in the real world during the 30 day contract futures window. Then the paper market pretends like nothing happened. It's the sort of thing uncle Jeffrey was talking about when he said let the goym deal in the real world.
>>
>>62106054
I meant that the market might wanna pull out of speculative AI plays when energy prices go up and rate hikes enter the dialogue.. Stuff like Cloudfare would become attractive again, and maybe people wise up and learn that AI companies aren’t gonna make every last SaaS obsolete. Idk much about Cloudfaree business model though it was just an example but in general I’d wager anything cloud would be on the safer side since it’s outsourcing hardware requirements.

I have no clue, I’m not in oil but I’d imagine if the strait is blocked any longer the Americas are gonna start drilling hard, and they’ll need to refine (and distill I guess? Idk anything).

Oil is currently discounted thanks to the negotiations. Oil roll over happens the 21st of april I think, over 5 days. Oil is currently in backwardation since current month futures are higher than next month, so roll over will give you extra money on something like USO shares thanks to backwardation. Silver is discounted too, likely to go back up with Oil and maybe even more as recession fears it, but ive been studying silver/gold price action from 2008 and it only went up for a time before dropping hard for like 7months as people feared out of the market, even on winners like silver and gold to make up losses/have money liquid. After that bottom though silver hit a new ATM in about 2011. Could see something similar. But yeah if you think gold and silver will just keep going up as the rest of market dumps on recession fears it probably won't. I expect the war to end mid to late summer after we finally compitulate do to the economic pressure finally being too much to bare. Market bottom in fall, october or so. Trump gets impeached or steps down around then, we start going back up slowly.

>>62106052
US refineries basically always run near full capacity due to it being very difficult and expensive to build new ones. If you want insight look at the earnings reports, frequently they will mention hedge positions which can be used to guesstimate price spreads.
>>62106066
Too many boom and bust cycles pissed off a lot of investors so there won't be much drilling until it becomes geopolitically certain that high prices will be around for at least a few years. Higher interest rates and increased overall drillng expenses are also driving capital discipline.

I'd love to know more about gold and oil.
Recently the move has been opposite of what I thought it'd be. War gold down. Peace talks, gold up. I think it's temporary as countries needs more dollar when oil price goes up.
I don't think gold will be 5k permanently, but I think there could be a crash followed by a big spike. Do you think we're heading for some gold crash, like 3.5k?

Arguably a defense/surveillance play, most HTTPS traffic gets decrypted and scanned by them in order to protect their clients from DDOS and their clients are everyone tone heard of. I'm sure LEA, 5 eyes, what have you collects that data and feeds it to the NSA and PLTR. If they're not important for AI yet I'd bet they will be, and AI can't really replace them because they can easily integrate AI into their DDOS protection (in fact, they already have). No one else has their customer base.

>>62106079
>certain that high prices will be around for at least a few years
reworking wells to increase oil production is cheaper than drilling new wells, so if you can watch permit applications you can see when operators surge in permits for reworking/redrilling/recompleting wells so service companies will get more work before there is bump in oil productions. When you see an increase in new drill applications operators made the decision the price is high enough and should be up long enough to risk new wells

Depends on how prolonged the period before a proper ceasefire is reached is. I'm guessing it'll be a good few weeks at least, so I think the coming dip will extend well into this week, as you say maybe even a few weeks after that. The march dip was quite prolonged, for example, taking almost a month to reach bottom.

Peak Gold price during 2008 crisis was about 1,011 dollars an Oz and it fell 30% over the course of 7 months. It makes sense if you think about it; at the beginning, gold was going up thanks to it's usefulness as a hedge and safe haven. Of course people seasoned and that have participated in the market for years already had gold, and as things got bad probably rotated more of their ports into gold for that reason. However, as things get worse, you sell that gold to either A, make up losses, B, increase liquidity to capitalize on the bottom, or C, panic sell because you need money for one reason or another/think it's over. After gold hit the bottom october of 2008 at 692 an Oz it went up 166% to 1,900 an Oz in 2011. Silver saw bigger gains because its always more volatile than gold. We could see something similar here. I'm calling start of war, Feb 28th as the "start time" for this oil crisis. We bottom about october. We're gonna start feeling the pain of the oil shortage here in America probably about the time of the current oil contract rollover, april 21st. We only imported about 8% of our oil from the middle east prior to the war, but we still import 30+% for our oil needs. Higher prices will still impact us quite hard.

That said though, gold and silver have just just fallen off a big rally. More than likely, that was our peak for now. Gold and silver will probably rally back up for a time and may even come close again to those tops, but they most likely will drop again like in 2008. Not because precious metals aren't a good store of value, but precisely because they are and people are gonna take their profit.

>Peace talks appear to have come to a screeching halt.
JD Vance just announced that the US delegation is leaving Pakistan with no deal. And, Iranian media is reporting that Iran does not have plans for further talks with the US.
So, what does this mean going forward?
Currently, all indications point to a sharp move higher in oil prices and a drop in stocks.
The Nasdaq 100 was up over +5% on expectations of a peace deal this weekend, and the outcome of talks was arguably the worst case scenario.
That said, we still have a lot of time ahead of us before futures open at 6 PM ET on Sunday.
As we saw countless times during the 2025 trade war and other geopolitical conflicts involving President Trump, he tends to release major statements on Sunday.
The question now becomes which route President Trump chooses to take.
Will Trump push harder for a deal and reassure markets or will he ramp up military operations in Iran?
Regardless, we believe the market will continue to "discount" this conflict as the potential for talks to resume or advance at any given time is material.
It's going to be an eventful 24 hours.
IT'S OVER
