    Iran Strike

    I don’t think the markets are going to take it well. I would think energy prices will rise as well if this conflict expands and lasts a long time.

    I don't know, it really depends on how Israel responds. I could see the market gapping down 1% when the markets open tonight and being flat by the open. The Iranian strike certainly wasn't effective. If war expands and we get dragged into it then I would guess oil spikes enough and the rise lasts long enough to affect inflation and our economy. But I think we're a long ways from a direct US conflict with Iran.

    This is logical, but not historical lately.

    I think Bibi is trying hard to get the U.S. more involved than we already are .

    Agree! Will he take the bait, or just say “Don’t”? Maybe stick his toe in and then run.
