Right, Starmer is allowing his own citizens in his own country to be held hostage by a bunch of poverty ridden give me’s, mental cases and criminals for fear of reprisal is a joke in itself instead of securing the borders and deporting and a insult on the intelligence of the people. What does he think is going to happen when they become the majority and who’s gonna pay their bills?
They talked all tough even instigating a war with Russia when they thought they could get us to fight it for them, and as soon as they discovered that wasn’t gonna happen they went quiet. And now that Hormuz is open all the work is done and the coast is clear Starmer offered to help?

Offering help now is just a bad joke! Showing up for the victory celebration as it were. If the truce falls through we’ll see how many ships they send!
Cheers

Maybe they are next?
Trump has not been standing shoulder to shoulder with him during this time. They pissed him off, and he said that to the world.
The people who say Trump is doing the bidding of Israel, or anyone else, aren’t watching closely, in my opinion. And listening to the wrong people.

Aren’t wars usually fought over gaining, and defending, resources?
This may be the only operation we know of that wasn’t.
This was to shut down a bully who had been terrorizing around the world for decades, backed by globalists who control by instigating constant conflict.
And to free the Strait of Hormuz from globalist control of Middle East oil supplies.
Oh and, by the way, one more ‘minor’ thing – it looks like Trump may just be bringing peace through diplomacy and alliances to the Middle East. Wouldn’t that sit in the craw for many, many people.
But so many have been trashing him. They are all defending the globalist order, which he is crushing, with major moves, accomplishments, and victories almost every day since January 20, 2025.
Perhaps the only other non-war is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I know we have been told for decades to hate Russia. The Cold War was a scam. Russia is actually our oldest ally. Their prolems with Ukraine, Khazarians, goes back centuries. Ukraine has been a central hub of money laundering for elites, globalists, congressmen, etc. Also for human trafficking, and bio-WEAPON laboratories. Those children Putin ‘kidnapped’ from Ukraine? They were Russian children kidnapped by Ukraine. And other children being rescued by Russia.

in the pm shares that you can never afford to miss. It’s odd to see the metals rally like this on news of peace. Always figured it would be the opposite but it never has been.
So good to see oil back to $80, that was going to crush the economy if we stayed up over a $100 too much longer. Just hope this is the end for war for awhile, like years and years.

Gavin Newsom just used his own PAC to buy $1.5 million worth of his own book. Even more comically, that accounts for 2/3 of the entire print sales.

Hopefully this is the Aden breakout you spoke of a few days back.
They took their boot off the neck of NEM.
Nice.

I guess the options players didn’t see peace coming. Neither did I. 🙂
Hope we hang onto these early gains.
They already said “nyet” to NEM.

They have only offered to stop going for Nukes for 5 years, to go past Trumps Presidency ….no way can Trump accept that deal……

Thanks for that news. Hope it means a peace deal coming up and might explain the bullish candle in silver.

I noticed that but I don’t see into the dragon but looks like something’s wrong with its wings. My point was it’s not a permanent change which would be disturbing.

Thats what I’m guessing but never learned Chinese, just have to try to make sense and watch what they do.
We got a bullish candle in silver right now. Generally after a shooting star like we had the other day it would be safer to wait another day for confirmation of a direction reverse that is a bit volatile too where it could reverse again lol. So it’s possible short term trader flee or dee I’m not up to. Just best to watch the individual stocks directions.

I wonder if the Chinese halts are because they have to deliver, unlike Crimex that can cash settle…..so give a damn about the short size.

Re options
Well we all know where the SEC hearts really lie, when they caught watching porn !!!!!
How Fall st is allowed to get away with the option game is an outrage…..Options should have a disclaimer on them along the lines of Wall st will do the damndest to make sure you lose money, buying this option and the SEC could not give a damn.
Tks on SMR….I still have it and bought some more on the way d
