I’ve been digging into what’s actually happening near the Strait of Hormuz and it’s a proper mess. Everyone is busy watching the war news, but the financial side is a total time bomb. the UAE refineries getting hit was the first red flag. Now that Brent Crude is sitting at $118, our fuel and transport costs in the West are about to explode. But that’s not even the worst part. To be fair, the real nightmare is the shipping insurance. I heard it's jumped nearly 10x because of those tankers catching fire. Since Iran basically holds the keys to the gate right now, nothing moves without their nod or a massive "tax" in the form of risk.It’s crazy because while we’re all worrying about inflation, the defense sector is just printing money. That $900M US-Israel weapon deal is basically a massive wealth transfer. Properly speaking, if that "gate" stays closed much longer, we’re looking at $150 oil and a total market reset.
I’m seriously considering moving more into Gold or Energy stocks before things get even more unstable. What are you guys doing to protect your savings? Or are we all just waiting for the crash?

Out of 100 Senators and 435 Representatives on Capitol Hill, all but 5 are bought & paid for by AIPAC. American voters who keep electing and re-electing “representatives” responsible for pushing us into endless neocon “regime change” fiascos lose the right to complain about the economic consequences.
