@Convertbond Larry, you are a great person to illuminate the farce that is health insurance CPI dragging real world CPI down (-6.4%) because of the methodology whereby "cost" is determined by retained earnings (claims rise faster than cost = price is calculated as being cheaper).
@zerohedge Health Insurance CPI = -6.4%
Methodology: "if retained earnings rise as a result of increased premiums while benefits paid out stays constant, then the quality of insurance has decreased relative to its cost."
Premiums up, but claims up more, CPI = down.
It's a put on.

@RudyHavenstein@zerohedge Iranians were seen filling super soakers with the water, according to an anonymous source. Hegseth yelled, "They're comin' right for us!" before launching the attack.
Comical: โBoth sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on โPeaceโ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its wayโฆโ - President DONALD J. TRUMP
And even more ridiculous.
Humans > Algos: 'What do repeated attempts to manipulate price with fake headlines (and futures markets interventions) tell us about the situation's underlying truth?'

How long to go below 7.6 billion barrels of global inventory if we strike Iran and the response is negative to the Bab-al-Mandab?
That's the calculus that matters.
Would give new meaning to the Gate of Tears.
We are entering the largest drawdown months with an average loss of 8.5mb/d.
You can't attack anyone with that math. We are in a game where one side is manipulating everything numerical while the other waits for the physical to take the inevitable toll.
Trump: Iran is begging for a deal
UAE: We will bypass the SoH through Fujairah
Iran: Establishes PGSA and extends authority south of Fujairah
*deal imminent

*WALMART EXPECTS HIGHER PRICES IN Q2,2H IF FUEL PRICES STAY HIGH
Getting closer. Internal memos are now 'how to implement new policy'.
The compression that has taken place over the last 12 months is reaching the inflection point.
FYI - This isn't the only major, global player about to announce these measures. The end of the absorption is imminent for many. Front lines receiving memos. Soon comes the hikes to end-users.
NEW: PlayStation is raising the prices of their consoles.
โข PS5 - $549 - $649
โข PS5 Digital - $499 - $599
โข PS5 Pro - $749 - $899
โข Portal - $199 - $249
If your opponent is 'begging' for a deal, then why would he need to be attacked?
If you gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, then why would he be in danger?
