drumpf walks out on stage every day for the last 2.5 months and says "the war is basically over, the straight is open, we have tons of oil" or some gish-galoop hodgepodge of those words and the futures market drops miraculously! Until a few hours later when "oh shit... nothing happened......." and it goes back up... and then drumpf says something and it goes down....... and the lesson i've learned watching this is investments not just in oil futures but stocks in general is based on little more than the mood of the richest people who jerk money in and out of the market and like a flock of birds once they weave so do all the other birds in the flock....

it's annoying how stupid it is
