The US could crush Iran economically/financially in 6-12 months but a lot of Americans do not have the guts and perseverance to deal with the potential economic hardships the US would also likely experience.
I don't know. With a simple blockade and all the fireworks of air sorties and bombing on the back burner, Americans will forget about the boring stuff. Especially the media. This is going to be to dull and goring for headlines as long as Trump keeps his mouth shut. Life will go on in the states. Meanwhile the IRGC and the Mullahs need to see how far they want to. The US can keep arms running into Iran on the QT.

Why? Unless he's about to retire all that matters is that his investments are outpacing inflation. That's been happening easily the last few years with a minimal of effort. The market has already priced in most of the uncertainty. I think a lot of the volatility we're seeing is the fact that a lot of the algorithms being used by many home traders are reading social media posts and factoring peoples comments into trading decisions.

I told you earlier, we are doing max economic blockade, while playing stall ball….in the meantime oil is being rerouted the soh will be irrelevant, but somewhere in a couple of months IRGC folds dues to no money…..

EXACTLY!
Trump is going to wait this out for Iran to implode economically.
-Several reports in the past from Generals and planners in the war department that bombing has run it's course and has reached diminishing returns, wasteful at this time. We're not going to be sending in troops when the blockade is working so well.
From the "News out of Iran" thread yesterday, the Tousi TV guy was saying the following...
1. Some Iranian citizens are being armed by the outside.
2. Iranian citizens revolting lack structure and leadership to be effective at this time.
3. The US blockade has been working and has dropped the hammer so hard, Iran is about to implode economically. They owe everyone money and credit is kaput. Inflation is at 300% or more.
4. The IRGC is so fanatical they're trying hard to spread war so as to bring their 12th Iman savior back from death to destroy the world.
5. Some IRGC nitwits think they can invade Saudi Arabia and take over Mecca and the black toilet box that was originally a pagan icon but is now Allah's house.
6. The IRGC is leaderless and the mullahs are preparing to announce that their Supreme Leader is dead, was dead, or is about to be dead. Either way he's moving from the cardboard cutout leader to real dead leader.
If half of what Tousi TV is saying above is true, the smart play now is to keep the embargo on Iran and wait this out.

From CNBC today....
Politics & Policy
Trump signals shift to economic pressure as Iran hardens stance over Strait of Hormuz.
---Trump said that he is prepared to wait for economic distress to mount in Iran, backing away from a renewed military offensive.
---The American military redirected 20 more commercial vessels away from Iranian ports last week under its naval blockade.
---U.S. Central Command said American forces had redirected 55 commercial vessels as of Sunday, up from 35 as of Aug. 2. American forces have also disabled two ships and boarded two to endure compliance, according to the statement Sunday.

Under your math, this companies only profit would be $5.6 million. The PE's 7% would be $395k.
So you actually think a PE company is investing $100 million with a break even of 253 years?
It's much worse than your math example above. If the PE firm took their $100 million and just invested in a secure investment at 4% they'd receive 4 million bucks per year instead of $395K with no risk. I think we're all missing something, I know I am.
This is the company considered to be involved. Insurance companies have many ways to make money and almost guaranteed to never go broke unless some shenanigans are involved. I suspect that they are teating this as they would some type of annuity.

As an caring part time fan of LSU athletics, I'm very concerned for the LSU basketball team. All my best thought and wishes for Wade Wilson's continued success.

I'm also going to ask for reparations. How long do you think I'll have to wait for pay? You think it's possible the US government can use direct deposit?

Watch how this spread tightens or even flips the closer we get to election day. It will always give the edge to the democrats , but for credibility it'll need to be closer to accurate.

re: Pre-season Coaches Poll has released

It's a good bet this year.
-.Gonna be a crowded top 10.
-.A 2 loss aggy will be passed over in ranking by many other 2 loss teams.
-.aggy needs to fill a couple of big holes on O-line.
-.Schedule is more difficult this year. @Bama, @OU, @LSU almost guarantee 2 losses. @SCe and Tennessee and ASU at home is another 1 or 2 losses.
Yup it's a good bet aggy don't make cfp or inside the top 10 this year. Texas finished at #12 last year with 10-3 record and they always get more love than aggy.

re: Iran’s terms for reopening the Strait
Posted by Victor R Franko on 8/8/26 at 4:35 pm to gumbeaux
I really don't think that this conflict or whatever DJT says has much impact on the markets like it did months ago. Economic factors are pushing the market and the Iran thing has already been factored into the pricing. Oil is still in 70s for WTC and low 80s for Brent. Earnings reports have been favorable recently and manufacturing construction is taking off. Copper prices are rising and reaching highs. I haven't checked on shipping containers manufacturing, but I'd bet build orders are up.
But you do you. Always remember, buy high and sell low.
