Summary

Over the weekend, the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran, killing the Supreme Leader and triggering a wave of retaliatory missiles across the region. This is the biggest military escalation the Middle East has seen in a generation, and it's already moving markets. Today, Nicole traces the financial chain reaction from the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal all the way to Monday's market open, and breaks down exactly what this conflict means for your portfolio right now. Oil is surging, gold is spiking, defense stocks are climbing — and travel stocks are getting crushed. Nicole explains why markets recovered faster than expected, what the historical pattern tells us about what comes next, and the one scenario that should actually worry you. She also breaks down the specific assets that go up and the ones that go down when the US is in conflict in the Middle East and makes the case for why you don't have to play offense, but you absolutely need to know how to play defense. Here's what Nicole covers today:  00:00 Are You Ready for Some Money Rehab?  00:16 How We Got Here  02:32 The Ceasefire That Didn't Hold  03:02 The Strait of Hormuz: The World's Most Critical Choke Point  03:46 Will This Be a Long War?  04:36 How This Hits Your Wallet:  08:09 Why Travel and Tourism Stocks Get Hit 09:26 The Historical Pattern Every Investor Should Know  10:20 The Risks That Could Change Everything  10:50 Tip You Can Take Straight to the Bank All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.
