Iran's Hot Air Balloons in Response
This "Israel-Iran tension" theater has now turned into a comedy. The same scenario keeps repeating: Iran supposedly launches missiles, the Israeli prime minister goes into a shelter... We are witnessing a performance that has become ridiculous and has lost its credibility. They think they can still make people look foolish with this play. But the curtain is now being lifted, and the props are falling apart. Here comes another attack.
What I really wonder is this: While everyone clearly sees that this game is fake, why do the markets still react as if it were real?
Gold is jumping, oil is soaring, Bitcoin is crashing.
In other words, this show is still being given "economic meaning."
We call this a fool's shake.
Crowds are manipulated with speculative waves, cries of "there's a crisis!" are shouted on screens, but behind the scenes, completely different calculations are being made.
And my claim is this: On Saturday, or at the latest Sunday, Iran will send up a balloon and say, "We have taken our revenge." The stage will be cleared, and the market will prepare for the next act.
A note for those who really want to understand:
Do not invest in fear. Embrace reason, not perception.
