I would not be surprised if people with inside knowledge of this offensive have made a fortune on the markets too.

Taxpayer dollars and 'murcan lives, exchanged for personal enrichment.

No need to be surprised, folk always make money on the markets (and many other ways) when something like this is kicking off.

You are the biggest non British, UK hating person I have ever seen on a forum. Your constant backing up of everything non western is truly unbelievable.

It's the knowing beforehand (that something is going to happen) that is the illegal bit.
And who better knows that 'murca is going to start bombing than............?

It's akin to (if not actually?) insider trading.

The new Ayatolah has an interesting history: nepotism, imprisons political critics and uses money corruptly to win votes. Sounds like someone we know…

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader?

Many expect the 56-year-old, who has largely kept a low profile, to continue his father's hardline policies.

He'll see eye to eye with Trump and Netanyahu then. They'll speak the same language.

My investments lost about 10% of their value by Tuesday. I couldn't just short them because I would have incurred more in CGT and fees than the actual loss in value.
And the stock prices by the time the transactions were enacted on Monday morning on LSE, would have been a gamble, because everyone would have been at it.

Just as well I revisited my earlier post, my loss was a little under 10% by last Tuesday, not the original 25% I thought.
Update, my investments are now down by 12% but maybe not at the bottom yet.
It's worth trying to buy at the bottom.

That's interesting. It must vary with your portfolio mix. I have a modest amount in oil and gas, which is almost the only thing going up. Indices are falling.

....

I am expecting more falls and, by chance, am partially shifting into cash this month as I am transferring a pension scheme. It remains to be seen if that will be before, after, or at, the bottom. I suspect it will be before.
