Stop trying to use the news to predict the markets. Instead use the markets to predict the news. The oil price fluctuations are the best indicator of what's going on in the middle east, not vice versa. Think about it like this - News corporations (and even random people on YouTube or X) are owned and directed by rich people. Rich people who want to make money, from me and you. Everything you see on the news is a deliberate attempt to alter your opinion so that rich people can make money in various ways. Why is it that in China, people are told of the virtues of being hard working and diligent, while in the USA people are told that happiness comes from getting yourself into debt buying and eating things you don't need? In both cases, it is to help the rich get richer. So do you think when you see a headline about what's happening in Iran, what Donald Trump will do next, selected quotes from selected people, or even rules of thumb for the stock market, it's actually going to guide you in some useful way? Why don't they teach your kid how to manage their finances at school? And instead why do your kids repeatedly hear phrases like "the stock market is gambling" or "it is vulgar to care about money, or even talk about money" slipped in here and there by responsible adults. Seriously, stop believing the bollocks you hear, and especially don't complain that the markets are rigged when they don't follow the daily news. If the markets are rigged, then that's one of the many facts of life to deal with and it's certainly not worth wasting energy complaining about it. Instead, try and work out HOW they're rigged. That turned into a rant, so end of rant. Good luck all. Looks like today we might sneak into profit for the year today. Maybe! $NSDQ100 $OIL
