It doesn't get more textbook than this: Every step of our March 3rd "Conflict Playbook" has been outlined on this oil price chart. It began with Steps #1 and #2 when Trump sent an "armada" to Iran and ramped up threats. On February 27th, we saw the "Friday night strikes" from Step #3 of our playbook. This led to Step #4 as risk premiums were rapidly priced-in. On March 3rd, President Trump began saying the war could last "forever," as expected in Step #5. Then, on Friday and last night, markets began pricing in Step #6, a prolonged conflict sending oil prices to $120/barrel. Finally, today at 3:20 PM ET, President Trump hinted at "conditional de-escalation" from Step #7 of our Conflict Playbook. We are now nearing Step #8. Keep following along. -
As I lay my head on the pillow tonight I’d like to congratulate all Patriots fans across the country. It was a tough 6 year rebuild. But we never gave up. Never wavered. We knew it was only a matter of time till we would rise again. Enjoy tonight. But remember the job is not done. We didn’t get here to just get here. Lombardi #7 is within our grasp. So get a good night sleep with visions of Duckboats dancing in your head. And wake up ready to work tomorrow. 2 weeks to prepare. We’re all we got. We’re all we need. #nepats -
