Worth a listen Markets only priced in 1 week of disruptions from the war….

Why this new war could really be over Iran’s oil…🇮🇷🛢️ This is a photo of my dad in Tehran, 1950. He was born into freedom—a democracy—at a time when Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was the King. Iran was a Western-aligned, socially open, and fashion-forward country. My grandma described Tehran as the “Paris of the Middle East,” filled with music and joy. So what went wrong? By the time my dad was three, in 1953, a coup overthrew Iran's democracy. Orchestrated by Western intelligence (CIA and MI6) to secure oil, it led to 50% of Iran’s oil being signed over to a Western Consortium—the giants we know today as BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies. In 1958, when my dad was eight, there was already a heavy presence of US military “advisers” in Iran. Many Iranians were deeply disappointed that their leader was forced to “sell out” national assets to the West. This resentment and anger over lost sovereignty was the birth of the 1979 Revolution. The IRGC took over, seizing that same infrastructure and making those oil deals null and void. They replaced freedom with a dictatorship that has oppressed its people for decades. Fast forward to 2026. In the Iranian community at large, there is hope that the IRGC leadership will be brought to its knees. Following the strike that killed the IRGC leader yesterday, President Trump has stated that Iranians can now “seize control” of their destiny and “take back” their country. But there are hard days ahead. The IRGC blocks the Strait of Hormuz today. How long will this go on for? Another question is: will the US, the UK, the French, and the Dutch look to gain Iranian oil assets again, just like they did in 1953? Above all, I am praying for the people of my father's homeland. I hope peace and democracy can return. Let's hope for no more bloodshed. Anywhere. Long live Iran. 🕊️ #OOTT #Iran #oil

I’ve now ridden in more ambulances over the last five months than Ubers. I still prefer Uber Electric. But I rate NSW Ambulance paramedics five stars. Especially the free ECG. Seriously though. Don’t be like me. Look after your health. Before it’s too late

This year it is Australian mining stocks sweeping investors off their feet, as they become shy over big US technology bets. Resources may get another jolt this week with BHP, Rio Tinto and Newmont among those reporting results: youtu.be/weSkKLzXwLE $WEB $NEM $DE

It’s the people you love the most that are sometimes taken too soon. Without warning. My dad died suddenly. 9 years ago. He was 62. It made me realise so much. Not only how short life is, and how important it is to do more of what you love and treat those dear to you a little dearer, because tomorrow is never promised. It also made me reflect on my own mortality, get outdoors more, and do more of what I love. With who I love. I will always remember those two phone calls. “Come quick, they are trying to revive Dad.” Then the second call. My world froze. Simon said, “Dad is gone.” I could not believe it. When I arrived, I saw Dad lying there on the floor. He looked like he was sleeping. He did not know he was going to pass away. He had been taking someone to lunch and passed away right there. Without warning. Or goodbyes. So I lay there with him. I kept him in my arms, telling him how much I loved him. I did not want to let him go. My dad, Roland James Amir, was my rock. My world. I turned to him for everything. No matter what it was, or where I was, he was always there for me. I miss his loud laugh, his hugs, or just calling him to say hello. Then we’d sing, “I just called to say I love you,” to each other. I was so incredibly blessed to be his daughter and am so thankful. Some may remember him as an entrepreneur and businessman, and a man who helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people with advice. But to me, he was simply my favourite human. And will always be. “If you aim for the moon and you miss, you end up amongst the stars.” (His favourite quote) Till we meet again. Love you forever dad. Your kishmish

Aussie banks trade like AI stocks, pushing them to record highs. Are they tradable? Yes. But how high will they go before the next pullback? The big four banks make up 25% of the ASX 200. That’s why they recover after pull backs (crashes) even when analysts rate them a sell

The market is repositioning for one theme: the US$3.5 trillion AI spending wave through 2030. Storage sits at the centre of it. And so too does energy to keep the lights on. moomoo.com/community/feed/wh…

Memory stocks' massive run isn't over. We may see market-leading gains again this year. Data storage is in short supply and AI companies need it badly, so stocks such as $SNDK keep gaining. Other sectors will also win from AI's huge spend: youtu.be/njwPjQmLxuM $APP $ANZ

The bull market run is still on, with the Dow Jones hitting a new high overnight, but investors have to be sector (and stock) specific. That includes Australian banks, where rising rates set them in a good position for earnings upgrades: youtu.be/uUnhSQSjHUE $SPOT $F $CBA

Serious illness simplifies everything. How you live. Think. Markets. Investing. Trading. Who you surround yourself with. Who you give your time to. Don’t waste energy on meaningless crap. Focus on what matters.Your health. Your people. And the money you need to live life

Lucky country? Rising interest rates and rising unemployment. 33% of our population's jobs will be replaced by AI. I think I need to retrain as an electrician. ⚡️
