It's-a Me, Mario! Reporting Live From... Uh Oh, Middle East Mayhem!

Mamma Mia! The Market's a Sleepwalking!

It's a me Mario! And let me tell you I've seen Goombas with more sense than these global investors. They're all 'woo hoo' while Iran and Israel are throwing fireballs at each other! Stocks are up? Seriously? It's like ignoring Bowser because you found a shiny coin. Russ Mould guy says they’re underpricing a major “conflagration.” Conflagra what now? Sounds like a spicy mushroom I wouldn't eat!

Trading Fireballs and Green Candlesticks!

Four days of boom boom and the market's still green like a 1 Up mushroom. Even Middle Eastern indexes are jumping higher! It's like they're all hopped up on Super Stars and ignoring the impending doom. David Roche guy says it'll last longer than a lightning strike… like trying to beat a level with only one mushroom. Torbjorn Soltvedtp also said that it will be an open ended war. And he thinks about energy markets too! What a they thinking?

Oil Prices Go Weegee!

The energy market's bouncing like me after a Super Jump! Oil had its biggest jump since… well since that big rumble in Ukraine! But don't a get too excited it's still lower than Bowser's castle. Roche says a 'lull' is coming but it's a trick! Like a Boo hiding around the corner waiting to scare you. He even says buy energy assets! Smart move... Wahooo!

A Very Modest Reaction? More Like a Very Goomba Reaction!

Some market watchers are saying 'relax it's a gonna be okay'. Jim Reid guy at Deutsche Bank says they haven't taken the 'most extreme' steps. As Geopolitical shocks becoming more frequent he says it is now a yearly occurrence! He says that there is a usual range where stocks can fall back about 6%. Philippe Gijsels says the market's right to ignore the big stuff like America getting involved. That's like saying 'Bowser's not THAT bad!'. Mama mia! They are so wrong!!

Strait of Hormuz? Sounds Like a Spicy Calamari!

This 'Strait of Hormuz' is a big deal. It's where all the oil goes through like a pipe to Bowser's boiler room. If that gets blocked it's a game over for the energy market! Gijsels admits the market's not worried enough. It's like ignoring the Thwomps when you're trying to grab the flagpole! They are gonna feel the BOOM!

What Would Mario Do? Get Ready to Jump!

So what's a Mario gonna do? I'm not buying this 'everything's a fine' act. Time to grab a Super Mushroom dodge the fireballs and prepare for a BIG jump... out of these risky stocks! Remember folks sometimes you gotta be like Luigi and run the other way! Wahoooo!
