Iran War Intensifying | Here's What Happens Next
In a Nutshell
Markets are pulling back from all-time highs amid Iran war uncertainty, with officials denying US delegation talks in Pakistan led by JD Vance, driving oil higher and NASDAQ lower; despite fragile ceasefires and weak US economy (rising inflation, low consumer spending), upside risks bull traps from Trump's erratic negotiations. Speaker's LPP team holds cash awaiting correction confirmation after 2009's biggest rally, favoring shorts or weakness in stocks like HIMS (8-9% downside), MSTR (26%), OKLO (25-30%), CAR, and OPN over resilient indices. Highlights Trump admin insider trading concerns, with $2B personal gains via crypto amid market manipulation.

HIMS down 5%, previously hit lows of 27.85. NASDAQ market slowly selling off. Shift from bullish to bearish due to Iran developments. Markets can shift quickly, e.g., if Trump tweets changing sentiment.
Iran officials deny any delegation arrived in Pakistan for US negotiations, calling reports baseless. US delegation supposedly arrived in Pakistan. White House official confirms JD Vance, vice president, has not departed for Iran talks. JD Vance supposed to lead US delegation for second round of peace talks. Iran denies delegation in Pakistan. Due to this, oil prices rising. NASDAQ seeing slight retracement.
This can shift if news debunked or JD Vance shows up in Pakistan for talks, markets likely retest all-time highs. Markets trading at all-time highs celebrating supposed end to Iran war, after spending $40 billion in taxpayer dollars. How many times will we celebrate the end of this war? Initial rally on ceasefire news, then fears it would fall through, then ceasefire continuing with deal imminent, markets pushed higher. Still near all-time highs.
If peace talks announced and JD Vance shows for second round in Pakistan, markets could push to new all-time highs. What's priced in? Back to square one. Labor market weak, inflation rising, nothing thriving in US economy. Consumer spending projected at one of lowest levels since 2022, yet markets at all-time highs and irrational.
Challenge: if bullish, buy as much as you can afford at elevated levels. Zoom out to different time frames for perspective. With tariffs, economy issues, do markets continue higher at elevated levels? For speaker, reward not worth risk, greater downside than upside potential. Doesn't make sense to go long. Might not make sense to short due to resilient bullish markets.
LPP team mostly waiting in cash for confirmation and trigger to correct after biggest rally since 2009.
NASDAQ pathetic: rallies 2-3% on ceasefire announcement, but pulls back only 0.25% on no deal confirmation with ceasefire expiring soon. Overreacts upside, underreacts downside.
Greater opportunity in individual companies showing weakness vs resilient NASDAQ.
HIMS: Sold off to 27.85 lows, peaked and rejected, down 4% from today's highs. 8-9% downside margin if sell-off continues.
MSTR: Down 2% today, but 26% downside potential if sells off, especially if NASDAQ sells off. MSTR proxy for Bitcoin.
If bullish on MSTR, buy as much as affordable.
CAR: Best performing stock of 2026? Over 500% gain in one month, still pushing up, no breakdown pattern. Wait for confirmation of sell-off. Two funds own ~70% of company. If Avis does share offering for liquidity, stock sells off, realizes profits, positions like GameStop did ($5 billion cash-out buys time for failing business).
OKLO: Amazing push up, speculative, overbought reversal. 25-30% potential downside if sells off, no confirmation yet.
OPN: Up 8.3%, from $4 lows to nearly $6 highs, huge runner. Moved up 30% in past. Know how to take profits to avoid bag-holding back to $4.
Markets contradicting due to Trump's Middle East negotiation style: contradicts himself daily during war, says one thing then another, creates bull/bear traps, form of market manipulation never seen before.
People catching up to idea of insider trading by Trump administration or family. Trump gained over $2 billion in past year. Speaker called out politicians on Fox News for enriching via privileged positions, regardless of party.
Politicians in power should only invest in flat indices like NASDAQ or S&P 500, not specific sectors or government contracts.
It's not okay for anyone to do it.
Trump made over $2 billion quickly with crypto project, calls himself crypto president. Obvious self-enrichment and rug-pulls via crypto projects. Excited to see developments.
Uncertainty due to JD Vance not heading to Iran round two talks. Markets can shift instantly. Will keep updated. Join live sessions via second link in description.
