Jo Bhakdi“And if they end the war soon, I think the stock market is going to ready like crazy. Not so much because they're so happy that the war is over, but because we're in an incredible bullish environment for Nvidia, for Tesla, for the Max 7, for everything that is AIdriven, not for the rest.”@ 12:42 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
BearishThe speaker believes the Iran war will end soon due to political pressures on the Trump administration, which would prevent oil prices from exploding. He argues that continuing the war would be politically disastrous for Republicans and economically damaging, making a quick resolution likely.
Key arguments
- Trump administration faces enormous political costs from continuing the Iran war
- War spending of $1 billion per day is unsustainable
- Vance and Rubio need to win 2028 election and war hurts their chances
- Wall Street and tech lobbyists are stronger than oil/arms lobbyists and will push for war's end
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Acknowledges uncertainty about his prediction
- Admits there could be 'completely deranged thing going on behind the scenes'
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Data sourced from US Energy Information Administration (EIA)
- Numbers vary between 2024 and 2025 data (13-18% range)
- Analysis acknowledges some sources triangulate to 18% while others show lower figures
- Discussion of US military spending ($1 billion/day) as context for cost-benefit analysis
