@Nick_duCat@staunovo What if Iran’s strategy is simply to stall? Every passing day depletes global oil stocks. Give it 60 days and the world will have no buffer left — leaving Iran in a position to dictate terms.
Probability of Hormuz reopening through :
Iran negotiated gatekeeper / toll model: 60%
military corridor: 25%
full Iranian climbdown: 10%
other / prolonged stalemate: 5%
@JavierBlas The main interest is that due to the steep backwardation, the government will repurchase the barrels later at a much (fixed) lower price, making it a risk free/ high return operation.
@zerohedge > The study is unpublished + likely biased.
1️⃣ Parents who skip vaccines also skip doctor visits → fewer diagnoses reported.
2️⃣ Their kids stay “healthy” thanks to herd immunity from vaccinated kids.
Correlation ≠ causation.
@GasBuddyGuy If you're claiming the government beat inflation, then only non-inflation-adjusted prices matter. Adjusting for inflation just erases the problem you're taking credit for solving.
@zerohedge The claim that Texas gave 15,000 more MMR shots and now has a measles outbreak is misleading. Nearly all cases are in unvaccinated people. The rise is due to low vax rates, not more shots. The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. Misinformation puts lives at risk.
@zerohedge Despite this increase, the long-term trend continues to show a significant decline in Arctic sea ice. Since satellite observations began in 1979, September Arctic sea ice has been shrinking at a rate of 12.2% per decade compared to the 1981–2010 average. Source : NASA
@kingofcrude While Europe is closing refineries, the Middle East and China are expanding capacity. This shift poses a serious threat to Europe’s energy independence and highlights the need for strategic investments in local refining to mitigate reliance on these regions.
@staunovo Or why the market reacts more to a planned (not yet official) 180kbd production increase than to an unplanned 700 kbd outage (already shut down)
7/ Stay Informed and Skeptical
Applying these steps will help you become a more informed reader and avoid falling for misinformation.
Stay curious, question what you read, and always look for the facts! 🧐
#FactChecking#MediaLiteracy#StayInformed
4/ Cross-Reference with Mainstream Media
Mainstream outlets follow strict fact-checking protocols and have editorial oversight.
If a big story isn't reported by multiple reputable sources, be skeptical.
Established media have journalistic ethics they must adhere to. 📰
6/ Be Wary of Algorithm-Suggested News
Algorithms create echo chambers and skew your view.
Clicking on one type of news lead to more of the same, making extreme views seem more common.
Double-check sensational stories, like "Asteroid Approaching Earth!" before believing them. 🤯
3/ Investigate the Author
The author’s credibility matters.
Check if they are known for inflammatory comments or biased reporting.
If no author is listed, or they have no online presence, that's usually a red flag. 🚩
2/ Find Unrelated Sources
Reliable sources to check claims include regulatory filings, official company announcements, or financial disclosures.
Avoid using sources directly related to the news report—look for independent verification. 🔍
