What's good, man? What's good? What's good? What is good? All right, look. Um, you you I you could you could you could argue that being a speculator in the market is like the most important role in society, bro, because you're like pricing in truth, right? And if the market is wrong, like the best way to figure out what is actually happening in the world is what does the market say, right? And so it's being a speculator is actually one of the most essential jobs in the world, it's an essential worker, like to society without spec like Thicki said this thing, and he was like, Um, I'm gonna just like I'm just gonna repurpose like a hundred thicky takes today. Hear me out. It's like imagine if you didn't have internet access and you were just living in the world day to day, you didn't have internet access, you weren't you couldn't see markets, you weren't reading Twitter, you weren't reading social media. Like, how long would it take you to figure out a tangible shift in like culture, like the world's changed? You'd probably be like three years too late. Like COVID would have hit you like pretty quick for sure. But how how long would it take to know like we're like in a in a recession? It would like take a year, probably. You would have no idea it's happening if you just like go about your day. And so we had the fucking expression nailed, but man, these order books are are no joke, whatever. It is what it is. Um, but a lot's happened the last 24 hours. I feel like I've learned a lot in the last fucking three weeks. By the way, Miami, Ohio yesterday, movie. I have a balance I've assigned myself of my what I'm willing to fucking lose betting on sports, and it's the one time a year where you it's okay to bet on sports, and I'm gonna fucking gamble my my my dick off over the next couple weeks on every game. I have uh I bet Ohio State lost at the buzzer. I bet Troy lost by 30. I bet um Miami, Ohio. That was a movie, that was a fun one. I have USFs getting blown out, I just bet upsets only. I went to VCU, so I hammered VCU hard. And then I bet BYU pretty hard. And then I'm gonna bet St. John's all the way because they're so fun. And I'm gonna bet, I don't know, whoever else, but first win since 1999 in the tournament. I mean, come on. You gotta love March. Imagine trying to make a free throw behind this. You gotta love it. You give him a love, come on. You give him a love. You gotta love it. You gotta love it. Shout out to Miami, Ohio. Shout out to fucking polymarket. I cooked on it, I'm not gonna lie. It's been a while since I made money on a sports pet. Yeah, Duke is losing. Update me if the game gets really close. But all right, we have a lot to talk about. I want to get into the stream. We have uh Netanyahu just did his first speak appearance. He's alive. Trump had some crazy appearances. I have some really good writings, some really good articles. Market's about to close in three minutes. We'll look at the market, we'll get into it, and then I'm gonna just fucking complain for three hours. All right, market just closed. Let's go over it and then we'll get into topics. You know how you know the routine. I like this routine, by the way, starting with market close. And one of the just most miraculous turnarounds I've ever seen. Spy closes only down a quarter of a percent today is just unreal. Just unreal. That this closed down only a quarter of a percent. Q's down 0.3, and software ETF, ITV flat, nuts. Russell up a percent, people are fucking gambling. Um, the Dow, just the worst chart ever, Pam Bomdi. Um crude down a percent point three. Um, what do we got here? Hymns up five, circle finally a red day. Not a lot of stuff we care about. We got IGV, whatever. Let's go to the big names. NVIDIA down a percent, Adobe Flat, Sandisk up 2.4. It's been ripping. Dude, I've been so bullish on max long. We'll talk about it. What else we got? Apple down 0.5, Netflix down three. Who's who was talking about Netflix today in the chat? Spicy Meatball, your longness looks terrible. Microsoft down one, Oracle up two, Micron down four, Meta down 1.5, Amazon down 0.5, Tesla down three. That's mostly where we are at today. And then crypto and metals. Bitcoin decent. It got this kind of like fake relief bounce on I guess the net and yahoo. I guess on the net and yahoo convo. I didn't watch it. We'll go over it. We'll go over it. Gold down three and a half, crushed, eight down three, Z Gash down five, the dollar, DXY down a percent. Sol actually relatively strong. Silver down three and a half, hype down five and a half. Was the hype out performance just that spy announcement? Maybe. And then the VIX is down to 2440, and it is down 2.7% on the day. And then last but not least, Brent Oil currently 103.08, and then crude, which they've updated to WTI, is at 945. I'm gonna just spend like a lot of time. I wanna just like game theory out the rest of our life today, is what I want to do. I want to just like go over what could happen from here. I'm not gonna waste a lot of time today. Like, I'm just let's just like get to it. I actually have a lot of takes today. I I I've learned a lot. The market is really bad at pricing in like second order effects, like thinking ahead. Like, I wish I could go back to COVID and like buy like Zoom or like Peloton, you know? It's like, yeah, obviously. This is like new in my arsenal, but it's it's great that it's new. It's it's great that we think about this now because it obviously has big impacts and implications on how the market works. It's just like just the like okay, similar to how when I was closing the oil long, because I'm like, there's just so many like fragile aspects at play here that could go wrong and that could fuck me. The stock market, I feel like, is propped up on so much fragile nuances that could just go. And most of it being this like AI capex, right? Like, can these companies sustain these like gargantuan rounds and spend and somehow figure out how to increase it and increase revenue and just keep going up? At the same time that we're approaching OpenAI wants to IPO, SpaceX wants to IPO, these like massive liquidity suck events, and I feel like everyone's been looking for like a reason. Like everyone, I I don't know, like I feel like a lot of the smart people on my timeline have been bearish and looking for a reason to just everything to just mull over. And there hasn't really been a reason. But then you introduce this, you introduce war into the mix, and then all of a sudden a lot of these fragile ideas are like at jeopardy, right? One of them, like a second order effect. I wasn't even thinking about is like okay, stocks are propped up on AI, specifically is AI CapEx build out and spend that has to keep getting higher and higher. A huge percentage of it, like half, 30%, 20%, even 5%, is from like the Saudis in the Middle East, the GCC countries, which have been like drawn into this war from the US and like Israel attacking Iran, and then oil spend gets squeezed, war conflict drags out longer. What is their appetite for energy? AI exactly. AI energy costs go up, and then what is their appetite to like continue to fund these crazy rounds? Because it's like they're you know, they're all in the US, part of the deal is protection, and we're now like in this war, like you know what I mean. That we're like now in this war. I don't know. I just like spend so much time thinking about 24-7 crypto prices that exclusively, and I think there's just like way better uses of our time. Like, even 95.5 is objectively a better spend than 100 zero, right? Yeah, it's like the bundle is unraveling, but it's it's like geopolitics, it's like it's like NATO and the GCC, it's like world powers, but yeah, I don't know. Like, uh I've like spent so much time thinking about crypto 24-7 exclusively, only crypto, and um, I like this the way this is going. This played first, just to set the tone.

SPEAKER_02

Too much, you know. When we go in, we went in very hard, and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

SPEAKER_01

Okay, Prime Minister of Japan, by the way. She's like, what? Hmm, she says she I mean, she can't believe what she just heard. Trump does this, W Luke chat. Trump does this, and then Netanyahu just does a speech. He says a couple things. He says, Iran has no capacity to enrich uranium or make ballistic missiles after 20 days of war. So, number one is like Iran's you know, beat down. Second thing he says is there are many possibilities for a ground component. I won't share what they are. Third thing he says is need alternative routes that avoid hormuz and red sea choke points. Can't do a revolution from the air. So, like, like look, he's so your Trump's saying there won't be ground troops, and then Netanyahu comes out and says, Can't do a revolution from the air. There needs to be a ground component as well. Just head like headline slop, headline slop, a lot of headline slop. And so I want to go over polymarket, and then I'm about to whip out the fucking Microsoft Paint by December 31st is the latest date we have on here. Basically flat. And boots on the ground is down a little bit, right? Like it got as high as 70%. And so I want to just like okay, I've just been like thinking in my head here what like how this could end. And I wanna just uh I don't know, I wanna just like game theory it out because I I'm pretty like bearish on the war right now, guys. I'm gonna be honest. I'm pretty like radicalized about the war. I want to do like an MS paint real quick. Oil market is saying we're like basically done with the war, and it's like listening to Netanyahu comments, Trump comments. Um, I kind of think there's like three scenarios. Every single one of these scenarios, except for the last one, leaves the United States of America fractured. You know, I I like the Professor Jang analogy where he talks about the bully because and he uses the US as the bully, right? The thing about the bully is that the bully doesn't actually want to fight. And so the bully needs to like be really scary and really intimidating. So the bully doesn't have to get in a fight. Because if the bully gets into a fight and gets cracked in the jaw, and like if the bully gets into a fight and doesn't absolutely dominate, people start to feel like confident that they could win. And so the bully doesn't like like every time the bully fights, it's an extreme aura gamble. Because even if you like, okay, say the bully fights and he fights like the nerd kid and he gets like cracked once, even like cracked once, and people could even have the thought cross their mind that's like, oh wait, if I like got the jab in first, maybe we could take him down. That like belief hurts the social contract. Like, you can think about this. Like, I um I remember when running a four-minute mile was like impossible. Like, nobody could run a four-minute mile. It was like impossible to do it. And the first person runs a four-minute mile, and then all of a sudden, after that, five years later, like eighth graders are running four-minute miles. You could even compare it to March Madness, which is like no 16 seeded ever beat a one, and then finally UVA goes down, and then all of a sudden, it's like open Purdue went down two years later. And so it feels a little bit like the US is in a spot that's like if Trump doesn't go for the absolute jugular and just destroy Iran. Every scenario out of this, you start to question like how much of US dominance and like stock market outperformance is built on military power and our ability to just like get anybody out of there at any moment. Like, how much of the dollar's value is just like our military, right? Like, it's a lot, it's a lot, and at least for like I was born in 2002. I was born in 2002, I was born after 9-11. I was not conscious at all when like Afghanistan and Iraq were happening. Like, I was like six to like eight to like 10, maybe max. And so this is like the first time that I've like been around and like paying attention in the US is like at war, like actually at war. It's crazy how fast this happened. You've never actually seen it up close, right? So you always just like assume, like I'm I live in the US, I'm patriarchy as fuck, I love my country, I say this all the time. You always just like assume that the US can snap their that snap their fingers and get anybody up out of there, right? But then when you like get into a conflict and you see it start to drag and to start to play out and start to just very clearly go off script and against the way you maybe would have imagined it would have gone. And it's not China, it's Iran. And I know Iran isn't Venezuela, but Iran also isn't China, and you're kind of like, wait a minute, like what's going on here? Like it makes you really sit back and think about a lot of your beliefs and a lot of your assumptions, a lot of things you're taught in school. Like, I don't know how many people here are like from the US versus not, but I've never once, even for a second, considered the idea like up until relatively recently, considered the idea that the US dominance could actually be threatened. And so that was a really unarticulate, long-winded way of saying that the US going after Venezuela is not an aura gamble. It was like a show of force. The US going after Iran in the situation that we're in right now. Again, I'm three weeks into geopolitics, but I'm terminally online, is a pretty extreme aura gamble. But this is like where we're at, is that it didn't work, and now we're sort of stuck in this spot where we have to like figure out a way for this to end at some point, and none of the options are very good. All right, let's go. Okay, option number one is like the best option for United States and like the least likely, right? Which is like Cire. Okay. Which would be some agreement where like US stops attacking and like regime change, and then Iran would stop nuclear program, reopen straight, and basically like submit to being a USA bitch. This is what I would have had if I would if I were to come into this with no context, this is what I would have like assumed would happen, is this okay? That would have been my like base case assumption that yeah, we're so powerful, we come in, we blow shit up, you fucking listen, you're in so much pain, you're suffering so hard. You I mean, look, to be fair, they have a choke point in the Strait of Horror moves, but they have no fucking internet. Iran is like getting, you know, not I I can only imagine what it actually the scene actually looks like there, right? Like, um, I know we're struggling more than we should be, but they're I mean they're they're suffering, right? They're in pain, obviously. And they say, you guys are the US, you win, we will stop our nuclear program, we'll reopen the strait, and we will just like submit. Okay. In exchange, the US will stop attacking. This would be the best case scenario. This is probably what Trump thought would have happened. And to me, this is like 1% chance. I mean, it's like less than 1%. It's not even 1%. This can't happen. Uh it's less than 1%. This can't happen. Like, there's there's no way this can happen to me. Less than 1%. Okay. And so it's the best option by far, but I'm of the belief that this is completely off the table. This can't happen. Option number two, I think is the most likely. And somewhere in the middle is Trump declares victory. This is option number two. I think this is the most likely. Okay? And so what it would look like is USA stop attacking. And Israel stop. Can they even do this? I'm not even sure that they can do this. Declare a win publicly to save market and uh probably agree to some sort of sanctions and or repercussions that may or may not be disclosed. The way things are going, it seems like Iran can just is willing to die, will go all the way and just hold on to the strait. They don't have to do that much to keep the strait closed, which is very clearly bringing us like turmoil and pain. And so probably pay Iran re sanctions. Because if they can keep it closed, there it's it's not if they can keep it closed, it's not clear to me that a cease like stop bombing would make us open the strait. It's not clear to me that there's that is on the table. And so the the offer would be like this pay sanctions, probably, and then Iran open straight, and probably, at least to me, like what it would take for this to be a fair agreement for them, like if I'm Iran, um keep nuclear. Because, like, okay, if there's no scenario in which they would agree to option one, which is just like a pure ceasefire, that means there's something they're not willing to give up. Okay. And the something that they're not willing to give up is probably the nuclear. Because if, like, okay, if you're Iran, like I've I've thought about this for a while now, the last couple days. Like, what would I do if I was Trump? And what would I do? I know what I would do if I was both. I think. I know what I would do if I was both. What would I do if I was Trump? And what would I what would I do if I was whoever is running Iran? If whoever's running Iran, it's like, okay, there's no, there's basically no reason for you to agree to option one. Because you've shown an ability to keep this thing closed and that you have a choke point over the US. Okay. And so you're not gonna just agree, like, open for stop bombing. It doesn't make any sense. Because the US and like Israel have basically shown you that at every occasion when we're negotiating, and or if we have a deal on the table, we will just break the contract and like blow you up. And so you're suffering now, but you'll suffer later, anyways. And so you know that if you get a nuclear weapon, suffering like stops. Notice how, notice how North Korea is not suffering because you can't fucking do shit. They have a nuclear weapon, and so in my like um very like surface level understanding is that Iran has this can control the strait very easily, which is like a choke point for the world, and it's a pure like geography, like loophole that they just have this thing, they have an ability control, it's shaped perfectly. Like, they have this this choke point, this pressure point in the strait, and they have this goal of like get nuclear weapons, and if they can control the strait or leverage the strait long enough to get to a nuclear weapon, the pain stops. And so you basically like you're suffering already, so you might as well like in theory, if you could fend off the US or keep this thing going for long enough while controlling the straight and then eventually get to a nuclear weapon, you just like take that route. And so there's no reason for them to just do like a pure ceasefire, right? Why would you do that? And so the other option is like, fine, you'll open the straight back up and stop an energy crisis in the United States of America, which would be which is what it feels like we're edging to, by the way. Like, it feels like we're edging to that, and so you would prevent an energy crisis in the United States of America in exchange for them to stop bombing you, which you know is gonna come again, anyways, but you keep you openly publicly keep your like nuclear program and whatever's left of it, and you like build to this end goal, I would imagine, is like a nuclear weapon, right? Now, if you're the United States of America and you're Trump, this is your auto out, save markets, save face, print green candles on spy, and on you know, make oil red, save an energy crisis, keep gas at a fucking$30 a gallon. But this is really bad. This is bad. This is bad. This is like a this is a Bad off ramp because what this means is we to this means two things, okay. This is bad for two reasons. One, the bully got bitched, and two, we have to go back, okay. Number one is that we went after Iran and very publicly pulled out in this scenario, like the in the declare victory. It was very clear what happened. They squeezed us on the straight, oil price went up, stocks went down. We got pretty quickly into a like no pun intended nuclear situation, and we had no choice but to pull out. Okay, it means the nerd stood up to the bully, he jabbed him in the fucking face, and the US had no choice but to fucking even to to to to to do anything other than utterly dominate is a fracture on like the perfection that is the United the American Empire, right? It fractures like world reserve currency on the dollar, it fractures our like military dominance, it fractures our fear, it's probably fucking makes China more likely to go after Taiwan. There's like big ricochet effects. The bully gets bitched in public. You took a huge aura gamble and you lost. And then the second problem is that we have to go back, like it's not done. It doesn't end. It's like, okay, cool. They opened the straight, they now have more power because they know they can fucking just at any moment. Straight's closed. At any moment, straight's closed. Fuck you, straight's closed, and you can't do anything about it. So they they you you've told them you can't stop this move. Number one. It's like when you're playing your homie in Smash and you like don't let him use this one character because he's such an OP move. And anytime you win like three games in a row, he's like, okay, cool, I'm playing a Steve from Minecraft again. And then he just like cooks you. That that's what this is. That's what the straight becomes if we pull out. And so you you admit that they have an OP move you can't stop. You probably end up paying some like export taxes, sanctions, whatever. And then the second is we probably have to go back, right? Anything other than a colossal wipeout, and they're leaving this with whatever is left of their nuclear capacity, and they're building that shit up. This scenario is short-term solve for long-term pain. And so, guys, I'm gonna be honest in my like game theory journaling, this feels like the most like I mean, I'm you gotta put this at like 30%, right? Or maybe you you probably want this to be higher than 30 because the next option is not good. This is what 30, 40, 30 to 50 percent, 25 to 50. I don't know. 25 to 50 on this, I think. Why isn't America a threat if you all got nukes? The problem with the nuke option is that it protects you, but it does nothing on the offensive. I it's very similar to bringing a gun to a street fight, like a street brawl. It's like, okay, you have a gun, so nobody's gonna come punch you, but you can't use the gun. If you have it, you're protected. As in, we can't like if if you're like a small, if you're like David and you have a fucking AK, you have an automatic rifle, Goliath can't like run up on you and try to kill you because you'll just shoot him. But you also can't use the gun. And so it's this weird, like, prisoner's dilemma situation is that nobody can use a nuke until somebody uses a nuke, and then it's all over, so you don't get to use a nuke. The longer, at least in my opinion, the longer the strait of Hormuz remains closed, the more likely this outcome is, okay? And this is very, very bad. And so the leaders with one more option. Option three is jugular, and this is probably the only scenario in which the US comes out of this looking better than we got into it. This is like USA option three, full ground evasion into Iran, total wipe out, take the straight by force. We win you lose. Iran in this situation, honestly, can't do anything. Like, at least from what I understand, cannot do much. And so this to me is like the last option, bro. There's basically three. I think there's three options, and the third one is Trump says, fuck it. I'm done with this shit. We they're too powerful, they're too dangerous, we can't let them get a uh a nuclear weapon. We're like dilly-dallying around taking control, and we're just going for it. And they go for the fucking jugular. Okay. And this to me is the only option in which if it goes well, it's the old by the way, this is the ultimate aura gamble. Like, and it is also the only in my opinion, it's the only way the US leaves like stronger. The problem is it's like the final aura gamble. If this goes well and you crush it, it's a it's a real deal show of force. Like the US is a monster, and this was worth it kind of kind of outcome as possible. If it doesn't go well, it has the highest downside by far. It'll be the most unpopular war ever. Everybody Trump will be like a you know considered a disgrace in the U. Like the whole thing will just be the the downside of this one is like so bad. Bitcoin probably goes to many millions of dollars from this, gold goes to many millions of dollars from this. Like, I I'm not even sure how you leave this war with if it isn't like pure and utter dominance. I'm just gonna say, like, polymarket has this at 71%, 66% chance. Basically, now not exactly like they they don't have option three jugular at 66% chance, but they have ground invasion at 66% chance, which is like ridiculously high, which to me feels like extremely high. Final option four nuke can't happen sub 1%. It can't now. I have this article in front of me today that I've been wanting to read. I didn't read it, and I think it's really good. It's this is the guy who wrote it. Macro stoic. Um, summary. So here's a summary. Iran demands one payment for homo's passage, reserve currency war, not just military, important for the dollar. The US doesn't need to control the strait, it controls the sea. Playbook sees Iranian ships, sell their oil in dollars, flood Iran with starlings, oil spike, inflation, Fed can't ease AI compute, cost rise, acceleration slows. Everything is the same trade, take down risk, preserve capital. I think that's like the summary of like where we've gotten to. Like any war, it's probably gonna play out in a lot of unexpected and unknowable ways. Pick your spots, manage your drawdowns, and try not to let the outcome be the final battle for your portfolio. I'm taking down risk and keeping my defensive positioning. If this tone makes you feel like you are over your skis, you probably are. Leave the heroics to the other guys. Source AB Campbell, Campbell Ramble, March 18th, 2026. I like the framing of everything's the same trade. I think that's a really good take that everything's the same trade. And so all the alpha is just figuring out like Ken Trump taco, right? I fully agree that being a hero right now just has pretty bad RR. Right? Like, I think he actually has good takes in this article, like, really good takes. I like it a lot. Everything is the same trade right now. And if you feel like you're in over your skis, you probably are. You know, I made this tweet the other day, and it was like about how if traders could articulate their job better, they would like get laid more, whatever. It was controversial, whatever. Somebody gave like a serious response, it was CL, and he was like, actually, like the reality of the situation is trading is really boring. It's really boring. And most of the time, you're gonna be sitting here doing nothing, and then eventually you're gonna make a trade, and then you're gonna sit here and do nothing for a while. And that is actually what trading is. The actual like execution aspect is very infrequent. Like, I didn't before oil, I didn't take a trade since Zcash, bro. I didn't take a single trade since Zcash. I traded Uniswap on the BlackRock News or whatever, real quick. I traded hype very briefly on that shit execution where it went to 37. Clittle chillers. And I traded oil. Oh, I traded Palantir and Tesla. I did. But my favorite bit and reminisce of a stock operator is how often the word I was in Florida fishing is referenced. Like basically, he's home actively trading a massive bull market, a massive right before massive bear market, or he's in Florida fishing. The whole book is doing one of the two. Like, he's in actual, like, figurative war in the order books, or he's fishing. That's it, nothing else. And I've noticed like my best trades have been this wait a while, be terminally online. Okay, Rhino made this tweet the other day. I'm gonna read it too because I think it's important. Malcolm tweeted it for him. He deleted it. I wish he didn't delete it. Um, but I think it's a good, like, you know, like I'm gonna read this to you because I think it's a good tweet for like you to internalize. Because I think I think there's people that are naturally gifted at as a trader. Like, there's naturally gifted traders, but that isn't everybody, and I don't think you have to be that to like make money in the markets. This is a tweet. Um, the regard kind of does show that you could do fairly well if you're terminally online, even above some traders or people who identify as such. He's kind of nailed some shit without vague posting like your fave trading account. Fair play, no? He's so fucking online all the time, it works. I think you can really make up for it by being terminally online. You could make up you could actually make up for a lot by being terminally online. Like you could make up for a lot, dude, by just being on the internet all day. You could really make up for a lot because you get handed opportunities like the Zcash, you get handed spots, and that's why I think like with the stream, there will always be a lot of time in between us like clicking the button. We we had this oil thing that was really fun. You get a lot of viewers, you get a lot of dopamine. I love being in a trade. I I mean, you know me, I love being in a trade. I fucking love there's nothing in the world I love more than being in a trade and like knowing I'm right, and it hasn't played out. I love being in a trade. You know I love being in a trade, but the majority of the time I'm not, and so you have to fill that time with good inputs into your brain, otherwise it's just a it's it's a mistake. Like you're otherwise, you get worse. You have to fill it with with trash in, trash out, right? Like you gotta fill it with good with good inputs. And the second I get off the stream, sorry, I gotta take me to the box. The second I get off the stream and I check my email, there's gonna be an email waiting for me there.
