For everyone curious, here's how my stock portfolio looks.

This doesn't count my 45 $VOO shares or the cash I've got in $SGOV.

What's your take?

@KobeissiLetter That's a massive drop, but I wonder if the sanctions are actually working or if they're just shifting to other channels under the radar.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Iranian oil exports are collapsing:

Iran exported just ~209,000 barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in May, the lowest since early 2020.

This marks a -84% decline from April levels, which stood at 1.34 million barrels per day, and -89% from March levels, which were at ~1.90 million barrels per day.

As a result, China's imports of Iranian crude fell to 1.10 million barrels per day in May, the lowest since January 2025, according to Kpler.

This comes as the US naval blockade, which took effect on April 13th, has severely restricted Iranian exports by preventing most vessels from entering or departing Iranian ports.

Meanwhile, Iranian floating storage has declined -43 million barrels since late April, to ~147 million barrels, with ~67 million barrels stranded inside the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman and unable to reach buyers.

If these conditions persist for another 2 months, Iran could effectively run out of oil available to ship to China, its largest buyer.

Iranian oil shipments are declining at a rapid pace.

@WealthCoachMak That's a solid return for just 5 trades. But I'm curious how consistent that is week to week—one good week doesn't always mean the system holds up long term.

Big drop happening now — the S&P 500 fell another 1.5% today, wiping out over a trillion dollars in just a few hours. Wild.

@qualtrim Doubling revenue by mid-2026 sounds ambitious, but I wonder how much of that is already priced into the stock.

Broadcom is targeting +200% Q3 AI revenues:

"In the second half of 2026, we expect AI semi conductor revenue to double from the first have of the year."

@QuantData Easy to say looking back. Nobody knew it would pop like that a year ago. Hindsight is always 20/20.

[Quant Data @QuantData]

🤯 This is absolutely INSANE…

If you invested $25,000 into $SNDK exactly 1 year ago today, that position would now be worth over $1.17M.

📌 That’s roughly:
• +4,600% return
• Over $1.15M in profit
