Don’t the data centers provide the backbone for digital currency and the server capacity to service the robots that will be the workforce in the next 20 years?

No doubt the technology with in the data centers will become obsolete but those parts (in theory) should be relatively easily designed to be interchangeable.

Will AI live up to the stock market hype? Probably not, but I use it daily. AI has personally saved me hundreds of hours and massive aggravation choosing sourcing the correct materials.

Trump will probably pardon the thief in return for a sizeable donation to the Trump crime family.

Could it be possible that the main goal with Iran was to close the strait so that oil prices woukd rise to the level where US producers felt compelled to Drill Baby Drill? Or is this a way to ensure more USD is needed by foreign actors who had previously been paying for oil in yuan ot bitcoin?

Matt Smith @ Crisis Investing's avatar

One of the key economic pillars of the Trump admin was cheap oil. It always conflicted with his "drill baby drill" idea, but driving up oil costs is a major diversion from any stated plan.

Good commentary, guys!......Ignore half of what Trump says. He is a business man and a negotiator, NOT a politician!. He is a braggart, and difficult; but he loves America, and we have been greatly crippled by the previous administrations, who refused to do anything about Iran's threats, and the allowing of people into this country that hate us. These people have said "Death to America " once too often, and I really believe that they mean us no good. No, I do not accept War as the solution, but the Islam Mullahs are controlling the good Iranian people, who cannot defend themselves without arms (which they do not own). The best we can do, is try to give these people the incentive and help they need to rise up and protect themselves. These may seem like naive statements, but Trump has a plan. I also agree with the comment below, that implies getting rid of the City of London's money pimp.

Concerning oil.... I left California 5 years ago for Oklahoma, and Cushing is right near me. When I came here, gas was a little below $2.00. Now it is over $4.00, but California is cresting $5.80, and some cities like San Francisco are already $6.00 a gallon.

I agree with much of what you say, but sometimes we will spar!...

Matt Smith @ Crisis Investing's avatar

By the City of London's money pump would you include Wall Street and the Federal reserve - both of which have a far bigger impact on the American people than anyone outside the US.

Lauran's avatar

I actually am including those, but I think the 2 women were talking about the Rothchilds and their influence in all financial matters.

Trump loves money, hot women, and himself. That's it! He cares nothing for America. Have you seen the photos of the White House? It looks like a garbage dump--disgraceful. All this construction and putting his name on everything is to insure his "legacy." His narcissism is beyond all bounds. People who still don't understand this after all the crap he's pulled are just hopelessly deceived by his schtick. He truly presides over his own cult.

Is this what's really inside Trump's stock portfolio, and his trading bot?

Looks like an institutional automated trading account to me?

His crypto scams are all major losers, so avoid them for sure!

Dougie, Dougie, Dougie, you should know by now that President Trump loves to stir up s**t with what he says. If you haven't figured that out by now, you never will.

As to the Strait, Iran and oil, you need to pay close attention to the Promethean Action Gals -- Susan and Barbara, they'll fill you in........ you and your bunch are so clueless on what is really happening !

' The story that matters is the one Trump pointedly isn't posting about: Iran. Not as an Israel war. Not as a religious war. As the last stand of the City of London — and Trump is throwing them out. '

“We want a world of sovereign nations working with each other for their shared development — not for the benefit of the financial parasite that’s been sitting in the City of London.”

— Susan Kokinda

“Is it really just Israel and the Arabs going at it, as they have for hundreds of years? Or is it the last stand of the City of London? That is my contention.”

— Barbara Boyd

Wake up guys !

William's avatar

So Arabs and Jews have not been going at it for hundreds of years. That you dont know that says volumes and completely undermines any credibility you might have had. Trump is a shill for those globalist bankers and is not fighting against them AT ALL. He is their boy. Wake up!

AGENT ORANGE may be their "boy"????, but my hope and some actions taken so far, say otherwise. What people forget is the hades eLite have played this game for centuries.... actually for 1,000's of years in some form or another. It wasn't invented by the British, but was refined and enhanced by the Anglo/Dutch Empires for 100's of years. To what we have today, ..... the wall street eLites, global (hades) elite and all the other American minions, like; hollow-wood, academentia, magic media etc etc. are for the last 80 years, the captured part of America by the hades eLite.

Whether AGENT ORANGE is able to break this strangle hold on America and the World is an unknown, at this time and may just be a ruse, but just another captured person controlled by the hades eLite.

Time will tell.

Trust the plan. Yeah right. I wonder why you would invest your time listening to Doug and Matt. I don’t know Matt’s longer term track record but has Doug been wrong about much of anything the last 10 or 15 years? Longer? Make a list. We can wait…

Oh Oh ! the first minute and a half, says it all !

Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair are suddenly echoing Trump because a major shift in economic and strategic power is underway — and contrasts their rebranding with the Trump administration's revival of the American System.

Hey dp,

The "Promethean gals" never found a problem that wasn't based on the "City of London". Notice that they never name the tiny little troublemaker in the ME who controls Trump.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.

I have seen speculation that the US blockade is being used to force changes in logistic flows elsewhere to be a pressure valve and is doing it to exert any and all control over oil transit whether the US is a part of the sale or not.

Logistic control is as close as you can get to outright theft, so the US in desperation mode to be the block bully about it all

Hold on, in Revelation the Bible says the ANTICHRIST will honor his god,the God of forces with gold,silver and precious stones….so we know that gold will be the currency or wealth of the world in the near future…unfortunately you will need at that point to take the mark of beast ..put your faith in God and help the less fortunate, I promise Jesus will stand by you even during persecution and tribulation

Super speculative but one blogger on substack that likes to follow macro data on ocean going traffic is being surprised that total traffic is not nearly as down as the strait should cause and has no answer yet on where its going to or from but it was enough to spark an early hypothesis
