The only real thing I've ever learned about the #IranWar is that the stock market is made up of a bunch of gullible fools. Oh my God the war is going to end so market goes up. And then when it doesn't end the market goes down. Turns out all those Trump voters? They're all traders on Wall Street. They believe anything he says. Fools.

Don't get me wrong. I love that my portfolio went up 10% this month. Son thanks for that.
