Dow Jones Does the Hokey-Pokey After Iran's Qatar Shenanigans
By Rex 'The Wrecker' Malone, Published 6 hours ago
Well, slap me silly and call me a bull in a china shop, but apparently, the market's as unpredictable as a drunk uncle at a wedding. Iran lobs a few missiles at our boys in Qatar, and what does Wall Street do? It throws a ticker-tape parade! The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are doing the financial foxtrot, in a surreal display of market schizophrenia.
You'd expect some financial jitters, some sweaty palms, maybe even a few plummeting numbers. But no, this is the modern economy, where the market shrugs off geopolitical fisticuffs like it's just another day at the office. It's like watching your favorite bar brawl turn into an impromptu dance party.
And let's not forget the analysts, those prophets of the financial doom and gloom, who were predicting a market meltdown faster than a popsicle in July. But here we are, with all three major averages climbing like they're on a sugar high from all the geopolitical tension. It's enough to make you wonder if the stock market is running on spite or just plain old dumb luck.
