  • This Week's Market Wrap: Energy, Defense Stocks Take the Lead as Oil Prices Spike Higher

    From financialsense.com

    The dominant narrative in financial markets this week was a sudden escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that sent energy prices sharply higher and injected volatility across global markets.

It's not military operation, it's not a conflict. It's a fuc'ing war, so start calling it like it is.
The next thing is that this war is definitely not contained.
Labor market sucks and inflation is out of control and is made even worse with this new non-essential war.


*Trump Is Now Asking U.S. Defense Contractors To Speed Up Production*

"Trump is asking defense companies to speed up production when he meets with them today amid his call for an unconditional surrender by Iran.

The White House says Trump is meeting with executives from Lockheed Martin and several other Pentagon contractors.

When a President starts pushing defense contractors to speed production the message is clear: prepare for a prolonged war that will consume more and spread wider than the public is being told." - Gregory Mannarino

    Trump: Today Iran will be hit very hard

    From @realDonaldTrump|Mar 7, 2026|95 comments

    Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
