Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
@heidimur That sort of things been happening on the train services on really hot days for the last 40 years. If it’s not wise, it’s lines buckling etc.
They say you can judge people by the company they keep, so the anti-Dan Andrews cookers the human filth and vermin that are responding in the way Some of them are, is proof positive that Dan Andrews was a good premier. they are good company for pauline‘s one neuron, and the far right cookers.
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
@Peter_Fitz Surprise Neil Mitchell isn’t running for leader of the opposition. He has been impracticality. He should just formalise the deal. 3AW stands for affluent whinges.
@heidimur So former journalist Heidi, have you ever posted a post which is in any way positive to someone that isn’t a liberal party member? Or are you auditioning for Sky News?
@ellymelly I think you’re pretty deluded there from the left point of view they’re celebrating because they think it’ll keep the liberal party out of office for years.
@BradBattinMP Problem is Brad you’re weaponising your police service as a political tool rather than a service to the community. That’s why police should stay out of politics.
@3AW693 Pathetic human being Jackie really is, and completely unprofessional. Frankly Alan could cure cancer and she’d still find something to whinge about. Get professional 3AW. Earn your right to a radio license by being a good corporate radio citizen.
@Peter_Fitz@HonTonyAbbott Bought your audiobook Peter, enjoying it, and like your narration, as I’m blind. but it’s certainly not bedtime listening when you hear the sadism of the Japanese I knew his GP later in life, who is also a colonel in the army medical core. an impressive person
This weaponising of crime by people on the right is ridiculous. For example, if I was a Sky News watcher or 3AW listener I could easily put the opposite conspiracy theory Brad Batten. Is actually making sure crime is publicised so more and more young people get 15 minutes of fame by committing these crimes and it helps his party, I don’t actually believe that at all but it’s just as ridiculous as blaming the premier for the current crime rate. But sky and aW have been weaponising for political purposes crime for years with the liberal party and people just don’t believe you any more.
@RositaDaz48 Completely tone deaf given the millions of Americans who haven’t got food this week And courts have to order Trump to use contingency funding for people survival
@TimRichardsonMP 3aW, standing for affluent whinges, has about as much credibility of Sky News. There’s a market for their ageing boomer grievance, which they cash in on quite well, but that’s about all.
People shouldn’t be taking too much pleasure about this, This country needs a viable opposition and a genuine exchange of ideas as opposed to Sky News talking points. Sussan Lee would do well to remember Winston Churchill‘s warning, to appeases who think they can save themselves by feeding a crocodile in the hope it won’t eat you
Leftism destroys everything … even the Hippocratic oath. Victoria is a fine example of what happens when the ideological zealotry of the modern Left is allowed to run amok.
