Just staying completely divorced from reality.
Believe it or not, as of today’s close at 6,967.38, the S&P 500 has now completely wiped out its war-related losses from the Iran conflict and is back in positive territory for the year…
VIX at 18 with oil dropping 7%.. market’s pricing in peace and rate cuts simultaneously. Bold bet..
