U.S. Rule Out Ground Invasion for Now as Iran’s Strikes Push Conflict Toward Bases, Industry and Hormuz
The most important signal in the latest war reporting is not that Washington is escalating; it is that it is still trying to define the ceiling of escalation. On March 27, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters the United States was “ahead of schedule” and could achieve its goals …
How can I rotate investments into Israel, whose market seems to be doing exceptionally well despite the current geopolitics?
To the mods, this is not meant to be a political post. But with the S&P down 7% YTD and the world being on the verge of an intentionally made financial/energy crisis, and my own portfolio downing 10%+ YTD (I have a bigger tech concentration), I started looking into alternatives …
How far and how fast can markets “price in”?
Given the fact that markets are fast and big players/insiders know their shit… even if we have short term good news regarding US Iran (big IF) we have an energy, inflation and credit crisis lurking. On the other hand, tech is more profitable than ever and we might be able …

Why do I never get any shares when I try to buy into an IPO through my broker?

How close to cost basis can you tolerate your investments getting?
Just sitting here watching my investments from the last year drop ever closer to their respective cost basis amounts, and wondering: how close (or beyond) CB can you stomach? Is it an amount, a percentage, etc.? It is certainly hard to want to stay the course when all my losses …
Oil bounces over $108 and recently Congressmen sells Chevron (3/11) and Marathon (3/12). What does he know about Oil supply that we don't?

For people who mostly invest passively, how do you stay engaged without overdoing it?
I’m not trying to restart the usual active vs passive debate. I get why passive investing is the default for a lot of people. It’s low cost, simple, and probably easier to stick with long term than constantly feeling like you need to do something. What I’m curious about is …
