Well a little OT post for you ...but first Kidney Care Partners were testifying in Congress today for changes to TDAPA . Hopefully they extend the TDAPA period ( 100% medicare coverage ) or at least a slower decline in coverage post TDAPA ....will be positive for UNCY if it happens .
OT As you may know I'm 50% cash in my portfolio's basically because I thought this Iran idea would get out of control .
Right now Iran is attacking Persian Gulf oil / gas infrastructure .
This is a huge negative for the world economy , especially for anyone importing a lot of oil , and even tho we as a country are self sufficient ...we export a lot of products and many of those countries will have less income now to buy our products.

While Western benchmarks like WTI and Brent are trading at significantly lower levels, a historic "price split" has emerged due to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz:
Dubai & Oman Crude: These benchmarks, which serve as the primary pricing basis for Asian buyers, hit all-time highs recently. Dubai crude reached $157.66 on March 16, and Oman crude settled above $152 on March 18.
Asian Markets: Because countries like China and India are heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil that must pass through the now-blocked Strait, they are facing a severe supply shortage and paying massive premiums.
Western Markets (WTI/Brent): U.S. and European benchmarks remain much lower—WTI is hovering around $97-$99, and Brent is near $110—cushioned by strategic reserve releases and shorter alternative supply lines.
