In this episode of Gimme Some Truth, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving situation in Iran and its immediate effects on global markets and the economy. Geopolitical events move fast, and while the instinct may be to react, history tells a much more nuanced story about market resilience.

We break down the central role of oil prices, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and why the U.S. economy's shift toward being an energy exporter changes the math on GDP drag compared to decades past.

In this video, we discuss:

- Historical Precedents: How markets recovered after the Gulf War, 9/11, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

- Safe Haven Assets: Why gold, U.S. Treasuries, and the Dollar behave the way they do during uncertainty.

- Sector Winners/Losers: A look at defense-related stocks, value stocks, and the potential for an AI value rotation.

- The Power of Diversification: Why avoiding recency bias and sticking to a long-term plan is your best defense against volatility.

Protect your portfolio from emotional decision-making. Watch until the end to hear our outlook on the "Soft Landing" and why leaning on professional advice is critical during times of war.
