The average investor that's purchased these things is going to have a stock market that's going to collapse dramatically and a bond market that's going to collapse dramatically.

And they're not going to have that hedge in place that they were expecting to. and they're going to be forced to sell something at some point in the future if they don't have a risk-manage adaptive overlay over the top of it. And that's going to ripple through the housing market. It's going to ripple through every section of our economy. And this hindsight bias that we have and looking back over the past 10 years of how the

government's been able to bail everything out and we're mentally projecting in the future

is going to be a completely different reality than what most people are imagining.

But this is how the Wall Street Journal, this is the main talking point. They're spinning right now, which is that they say here, quote, talks between the U.S. and Iran have stalled.

Certainly have.

American officials are betting that Iran will soon crack because of the deepening economic crisis.

Iran is betting.

The U.S. will crack first and end its blockade of Iranian ports to calm global markets

and bring down American gasoline prices, which are on the rise today.

They say here, however, but authorities are confronting a level of hardship not seen in decades,

according to Iranian residents who will go unnamed.

And they say, as well, as the money dries up because of the blockade, we may find more and more folks have no choice but to mobilize politically.

So that, Paul, is the hope here.

They say here, you know, subheadline, Iranians feel the pain as their economy descends into a death spiral.
