I bet with all of you. S&P will be unchanged on Friday [Grin]  

Ah yes, the world’s most reliable countdown clock: Iran will have nuclear weapons in 2 weeks. — 1995: “2 weeks.” — 2005: “Still 2 weeks.” — 2015: “Okay but this time 2 weeks.” — 2025: “Breaking: 2 weeks again, now with better graphics.” Meanwhile, 30 years later… Iran must have the most ambitious “coming soon” project in human history. Now we’ve upgraded the script: “The war with Iran will end in 2 weeks.” Perfect. Same writers, new season. At this rate: The nuclear weapon arrives in 2 weeksThe war ends in 2 weeksPeace talks start in 2 weeksAnd somehow… it’s always 2 weeks away from being 2 weeks away Honestly, “2 weeks” isn’t a timeline anymore — it’s a lifestyle. Historians in 2050: “Sources confirm everything was just about to happen… in approximately two weeks.” Stay tuned for next wee

Is Republican politics just plain self‑interest, or am I off base? 

I was rooting 100% for him during the elections. Now, I regret 1000%.

Donald Trump doesn’t need a teleprompter—why rely on a script when you can just improvise your way through a sentence that starts in one place, detours through three unrelated thoughts, and never quite lands? “I tell it like it is,” he says, which is great if “it” is a moving target and “like it is” means taking the scenic route with no map. And honestly, why go round and round looking for solutions when you can just keep talking until the original question files a missing person report?

I thought most of us have stopped with April Fool nonsense already.

Really strange. I am under the impression that we are hearing speeches daily.

Now it has become a war of rhetorics? [LOL]  

I run using China brands. Cheap and good. [Happy]  

Kong simi?

Taco is delirious [Facepalm]  

[Facepalm]  [Gosh]  [Observation]  

 Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.  Fool me thrice, shame on my portfolio [Surprised]  [Facepalm]  [Smug]  

Damage’s already done—even if the war ends in April, markets will still crawl through the wreckage. My estimate? Bottom in 3rd quarter 2026. Tomorrow will come… but later than you can imagine.
