Yabba Dabba Doo! Stocks Shrug Off Rumble with Iran!

A Great Big Pile of Rocks and Risk!

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from… well Bedrock. Seems like even with all this hullabaloo over in Iran Wall Street ain't flinching like Dino dodging a meteor! This fella Jeremy Siegel a big brain from the Wharton School says folks think the U.S. bonking those Iranian sites was a 'success'. Says it puts 'em further away from makin' a bomb. Good for the markets he reckons! Makes a caveman wonder if these fellas ever worry about anything more than their bird brain stocks!

Trump Talkin' Tough: 'Obliterated!'

Now President Trump that fella sure likes to talk big even bigger than my bowling ball! He says those air attacks 'obliterated' those sites and threatened more action if they don't make peace. Obliterated! Sounds like what happens when Wilma catches me eating bronto burgers before dinner. Siegel says this whole thing is a 'positive' but also 'negative' because of the risk of Iran retaliating. Makes my head spin faster than Dino chasing a bone!

Don't Rock the Boat or the Strait of Hormuz!

These here traders are hopin' Iran won't do anything that could start a bigger rumble. Apparently they could target U.S. fellas or even close the Strait of Hormuz. Now I don't know nothin' about straits but if it stops the oil flow I imagine that'd be like cuttin' off the beer supply at the Water Buffalo Lodge! Nobody wants that not even Barney!

S&P 500? Sounds like a new Dinosaur!

Siegel that smarty pants also said that if Iran doesn't cause too much trouble the stock market might reach a new record high in the next few weeks! He wouldn't be surprised if that S&P 500 whatever that is (sounds like a new dinosaur if you ask me!) hits all time highs. Maybe I should invest some clams... but then again I'd probably just blow it all on bronto ribs!

Bedrock Steady!

So the stock market is acting like Bedrock itself – pretty darn steady! The S&P 500 (that dinosaur index again!) is up about 1% this month and only a smidge below its all time high. Seems like even wars and rumbles can't keep those stocks down! Yabba Dabba Doo I guess!

Wilmaaa! Time for a Bronto Burger!

Well folks that's the news from my side of the stone tablet. Now if you'll excuse me I hear Wilma callin' my name... which probably means it's time for a bronto burger or maybe just to get yelled at for something I didn't do… probably. Yabba Dabba Doo!
