In this blog, all my writing – including this one – are opinions. In this article I will provide my insight into the U.S vs Iran war. Wars are all about perspective. Who are the “bad guys”? Who should other countries support? Should other countries support any of the sides? These are the questions that in time of was critically thinking people ask or should ask. In the recent years geopolitics started to intervene more in the stock market. In the pre-Trump area this wasn’t the case. Politicians said things, but their acts and comments didn’t really influence the economy of a country, while today if a high-level politician says something “out of pocket”, markets are starting to act in an instant. This new market behavior gave easy access for politicians to insider trading. In my opinion this sensitive market behavior was created by the easier access to financial markets. Today, services like Robinhood, Revolut, Interactive Brokers and so on, are making it easier to invest. These are the people who have some disposable income, and they would like to put their money into work. In my opinion a lot of people saved their money during Covid, and I believe that a portion of these people are the ones that are investing into these financial assets today. While these people are smart for investing their disposable income, they are not experts. Hedge fund managers, economists, asset managers, they all have a strategy, and they keep themselves to it. While the average Joe sees that that S&P is down this month and starts to sell in an instant. This factor of panic allows people to bet against the sacred crowd and make fortunes on it. The start of the U.S vs Iran war was something that not a lot of people expected, while in my opinion it was very likely to happen. I am not saying that I am a fortune teller, nor did I forecast the beginning of the war. If someone would have asked me a couple months earlier, I probably would have said that for the U.S to attack Iran is a nonsense. I still believe that. Last … when the U.S bombed the Iranian nuclear program; it looked like that the U.S is done with Iran. Their justified their bombing with the argument that Iran was close to develop a nuclear weapon and that it is the U. S’s national interest to bomb the Iranian nuclear program down. So, they did. Now the question is, why did they go back?
