So I think there's two big questions.
And I think the question you're asking is totally valid.
The first question is, is what just happened?
On Friday, we were de-escalating.
On Saturday, we were escalating.
We were going to bomb power plants in Iran.
This morning, we're de-escalating again.
And I think it's worth thinking about how much weight should the market put on any one pronouncement.
The whole thing reminds me of the tariff standoff with China a year ago when tariffs went to 150%.
And for a while, the president was almost negotiating with himself, escalating, de-escalating.
And ultimately, that ended up with China kind of winning that standoff.
And perhaps...
That's what's going to happen here, too.
Iran will kind of emerge with the upper hand.
And I think that's kind of what the market is betting on, that Trump is backing off and kind of doing a taco, as people say.
The other question, obviously, that you're also getting to is, you know, is there not enough lasting damage to the economy for the stock market to rally today?
So we can discuss that next, maybe.
Oh, totally.
So I think there's two things going on, right?
Oil prices, which obviously impact prices at the pump, and that's incredibly important for the U.S.
