UAE state owned oil company ADNOC has awarded a tender for ~14 million barrels of crude, and it’s planning a 2nd tender. The sales are a further indication that significant volumes of crude are exiting the Strait of Hormuz in small vessels going dark (AIS beacon off).
@skrblik Jsem takhle u Accoru bydlel docela často pracovně v Pullmanu a pak jsem se tam asi dva měsíce neukázal protože jsem si dal sabaticcal a tak mě po navratu začali zahrnovat zajímavými dárky od dobrého alkoholu až po hrneček s mým jménem
@FinHackercz co je natom tak spatne? Typicke ceske portfolio k tomu bude mit jeste sporak, ktery vyresi likviditu. Drtiva vetsina lidi investovani nerozumi a boji se. ETF by byla lepsi volba, stock-picking pro vetsinu lidi neskonci dobre.
My assessment:
The dollar passed 1.81 million rials on Iran’s open market yesterday, jumping dramatically in one day as the maritime blockade tightened around the economy.
For perhaps the first time in its history, the IRGC cannot buy time. Negotiations with Washington always worked as a delay tactic, a way for the IRGC to rearm, regroup, and dig in while the diplomatic clock ran. Operation Economic Fury have shut that door, and the IRGC now has no real way to do anything that would actually strengthen its position. It has been interesting to see them more silent recently.
All goes back to the weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz which had made things worse for them. IRGC before being an armed militia, is a patronage network at its core, inability to replenish units and recruit is embarrassing for them.
The Intraday Pullback to “Only” +7–8% (Now ~$15.87, +6.15%)
The stock opened at $17.48, spiked as high as $18.69, then gave back a chunk and is now trading around $15.87.
Mechanically: This is normal (and often healthy) squeeze volatility. Early buyers take quick profits.
$GRPN in early stage short squeeze, Grok: This exact scenario you described (and which matches real-time data as of midday April 21, 2026) is a classic early-stage short squeeze in action — volatile, high-energy, and still unfolding.
@dominikkovarik Blbost, to uz je lepsi s temi par tisici zajit do kasina. Sance podobne, ledaze byste stravili tisice hodin studovanim tech firem a to zase s malym kapitalem nedava moc smysl
@BurggrabenH@Amena__Bakr -700kbd on east-west should have minimal impact as the bottleneck is loading in Yanbu, also some 35mb storage there to soften impact
One war, two screens, two movies.
The movie the West is watching is not the movie the Arab World is watching and Western audiences need to understand their view point.
Strongly encourage people to take the time to read and share .@zriboua's article, because much of the Western commentary is deeply flawed.

@zdenekkubik72 pred 10lety tam byl v lepsich ctvrtich vynos z pronajmu <2%, ted uz se to lepsi a ceny nemovitosti davaji smysl (odliv ruskeho kapitalu plus horsi danove podminky pro HNWI, takze je vice prodavajicich), Londyn je bezpecnostne vpohode, to neni Moelenbeek
@weblog20 je, ale zatim funguji dobre a ropa tece; utok na potrubi by vyvolal odpovidajici reakci a UAE i Saudi jsou uz ted kousek od toho se aktivne zapojit
