THE FACT: MSFT has had about 7 consecutive down days and is due for a mean reversion bounce. 2. THE BRIDGE: Nothing goes down in a straight line; a technical snapback is likely. 3. THE VERDICT: Expect a bounce to the $385-$390 range in the next week. 4. RISKS: Continued geopolitical deterioration, broader market sell-off, or company-specific negative news (e.g., hiring freeze/capex cuts mentioned by another user).

THE FACT: Geopolitical conflict threatens the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting petroleum derivative supplies and raising prices. 2. THE BRIDGE: LYB is a cheap play on this disruption as a US-based petrochemical company, benefiting from higher prices and being a primary supplier. 3. THE VERDICT: Market is undervaluing the long-term impact (implied by 6% dividend), presenting an opportunity. 4. RISKS: Swift de-escalation and reopening of the Strait, a faster-than-expected resolution to the war. Timeframe: medium-term Key Points: - Strait of Hormuz closure play - US petrochemicals benefit - 6% dividend yield

[+5] u/gayteemo: don’t worry guys, trump will tweet that the war is over after market close on friday

[+31] u/Final_Ad9418: Trump gotta be our worst president of all time

[+28] u/Maga1498: The "goal" of the Iran war is now reportedly to open the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war started. We are witnessesing a strategic genius at work.

[+15] u/Zerkron: Jfc Trump is such an idiot

[+15] u/sNeKbIt99: This guy is taking you to war America.

Ho Lee Fuk.

[+10] u/fakemedicines: Brokerage account officially in the negative

[+10] u/FarrisAT: Have you all remembered to say thank you?

[+10] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: Rumors of boots on the ground operation after market close tomorrow.  It’ll just be us forces cuz Israel on shabbat

[+9] u/stattik-chiv-1: Trump needs to be sent to the gulag

[+8] u/staythewaters: Oops, looks like the market didn't price in Trump being a complete liar.

[+8] u/FalconsBlewA283Lead: It appears I started buying META far too early lol

[+8] u/Able_Show_8560: MSFT is setting up for a sizable mean reversion bounce... nothing goes down in a straight line and it has had like 7 red days in a row. A snap back to like 385-390 next week is very likely

[+8] u/Puzzleheaded-One-607: Tough to understand why solar companies are selling off given what’s going on in the Middle East

[+7] u/FarrisAT: Did Microsoft simply stop printing profits and growing Azure at record rates? 

Market says so.

[+7] u/sNeKbIt99: META getting crushed.

[+6] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: Meta going for 80 again until Zuck gives up ai

[+6] u/fakemedicines: The most fun part about this Iran shit show is just how completely preventable it all was.

Being fully invested stings right now.

[+6] u/SolubleSaltySalt: Meta down again for small issues 😞

[+5] u/creemeeseason: I think LYB is still the cheapest play on the straits of Hormuz staying closed and infrastructure damage in the Persian Gulf. 

Petroleum derivatives prices are going nuts and the US companies are the only game in town right now. Plus, 6% dividend implies the market isn't expecting much long term.

[+5] u/MaxDragonMan: RDDT, RKLB and AMD absolutely diving this morning. Sigh. Sometimes it's just not your day.

[+5] u/InvestigatorPlus3229: T here are about 430,000 U.S. households worth $30 million or more, according to an analysis of Federal Reserve data. Within that, there are about 74,000 worth $100 million or more.

[+5] u/Seastep: Today is one of those "don't look" days huh?

[+16] u/InvisibleEar: Why hasn't the Fed started printing oil? Are they stupid?

[+12] u/AluminiumCaffeine: META/RDDT killing me today, oof

[+12] u/DietFoods: Wanna hear something gross? 

S&amp;P just 5% away from February 2025 top before the start of the tariff wars.

Nasdaq100 6%

[+10] u/Cuberdon75: CNBC: "President Donald Trump said Thursday that neither the spike in oil prices nor the slump in the stock market during the Iran war were as bad as he had anticipated."
LOL

[+8] u/toonguy84: Trump absolutely loves that the stock market hangs on his every word. 

I'm heavily invested but I would love it if the market tanked the next time Trump said a deal has been reached because the market no longer believed anything he says.

[+8] u/SecularBull: Seems like the market is slowly coming to terms with reality here.

[+7] u/UCFSam: I like how Trump said he "expected the stock market to do worse", as if its still not going down everyday.

[+7] u/Swimming_Reply6673: Lmao there's the post market trump post to try and rescue markets

[+7] u/millerlit: Lots of people saying a stock has gone down so many days in a row.  It can't go lower.  Yes, yes it can go lower.  The longer oil isn't flowing the worse it will get.

[+6] u/x992607: where's that fucker who suggested to buy the dip?

[+6] u/AluminiumCaffeine: Do I really need 2 kidneys, or do I need more Meta shares?

[+5] u/deevee12: Been gone for two weeks. I see we're winning this war even harder now 🤔

[+5] u/captainstrange94: Holy god RDDT. what an absolute disastrous crash over no news.

[+5] u/_hiddenscout: &gt;Microsoft freezes hiring in cloud and sales groups - The Information

[+5] u/AnyPortInAHurricane: funny, how donny posts that nonsense, in time for SPY calls to pay off bigly .

[+5] u/ap485860281: Anyone know what's behind the 25% drop in $ISSC over the past few days?

[+5] u/papichuloya: Dude, how much can msft drop lmao. U would think its head quarters are being hit by hypersonic missles by looking at its chart

[+5] u/DietFoods: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1s33mp9/comment/ocg442d/?context=3&amp;utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=mweb3x&amp;utm_name=mweb3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button
