President Trump announced that he would

0:01

not resume bombing, but would instead

0:04

rely on economic pressure. I have to

0:06

conclude that a strategy relying solely

0:09

on economic pressure will have

0:11

difficulty succeeding. The Iranian

0:13

regime does not care if its people

0:16

suffer. They care about the regime's

0:17

survival. And this conflict is going to

0:20

continue, I think, for quite some time.

0:22

Despite all the doom and gloom out

0:24

there, the market is back to all-time

0:26

highs. The S&P is up 13% [music] and

0:29

Nasdaq is up 14% for the year. There

0:31

are, however, many commentators calling

0:34

for a crash. Tension levels are running

0:37

very high. I just [music] think it is

0:38

premature to make that kind of a major

0:42

market doom and gloom call. When Open AI

0:44

and Anthropic go public, we will have

0:47

some real data. Until then, we have

0:49

supposition. Relying on supposition is,

0:52

by definition, uncertain. And

0:54

uncertainty is uncomfortable. My message

0:57

to investors is to they need to deal

0:59

with it. Stop rushing to call the top or

1:01

the bottom. Accept [music] that we don't

1:03

have enough information to make the

1:05

exact right calls and work with the

1:07

information that we do have.
