  • I’m sure you are much more familiar with internal workings than I am, but isn’t the playing field so different now due to machine trading?

    Markets don’t react as human traders would because of algorithms buying up dips and other black magic rules that happen in milliseconds.

    If Hormuz was closed in 1998 markets would have been in a panic, and when it happened in 2026 it was a small blip.

    There are plenty of deep rooted problems with the current economy that I think makes it fragile- Among them, the fact that without data center buildout, the US would be in a recession.

    So while your post makes perfect sense and I agree with all of it, I just don’t trust markets to follow the same laws of physics as the rest of the universe.
