Why So Serious, Oil Prices? Trump, Iran, and a Barrel of Laughs!

A Little Anarchy in the Oil Patch!

Well well well... look what we have here! A nice juicy news article about oil prices going absolutely bonkers! Seems those lovebirds in the U.S. and Iran are having a bit of a tiff and suddenly everyone's scrambling for black gold. "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and everything becomes chaos." And chaos my friends is PROFITABLE!

Trump's Losing Confidence? Good! Good!

Donald Trump bless his heart says he's losing confidence in a nuclear deal. Oh the humanity! Or you know maybe not. Maybe it's just the perfect excuse for a little... 'market adjustment.' See even the best laid plans of mice and men... end up on the six o'clock news. And that's when the fun BEGINS!

Evacuate! Evacuate! Everyone into the chaos mobile!

The U.S. is pulling folks out of Iraq! Voluntary departures they call it. I call it a delightful little fire sale! When people get scared they do silly things. Like paying extra for gas. Heh. And that's why I always say if you're good at something never do it for free!

A Royal Flush of Tension

Even the Royal Navy's getting in on the act! Warning of increased tensions. Oh they do love their pomp and circumstance don't they? All that formality... when really it's just a game of who's got the bigger boat. And the bigger bomb. And the bigger... wallet! After all "It's not about the money. It's about sending a message."

Iran's Got Reach? Oh They ALL Have Reach!

Iran's defense minister's blustering about hitting U.S. bases. As if that's something new! Everyone's got everyone else in their sights. It's a global staring contest and the prize? Why everything of course! Land resources power... all the things that make people do crazy things. Like start wars! Or you know just buy more oil.

So What's the Punchline?

So what's the grand takeaway from all this? Simple! The world's a stage and we're all just players... in a very very expensive production. Enjoy the show folks! Because the only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And I like those odds!
