Iran's air force is incredible out-dated, like early Cold War era. This was never a threat to Israeli aircraft. They would be instantly shot down. The major threats to Israeli aircraft were its radar network + surface to air missiles (the Russian S300 being the biggest threat). In 2024, an Israeli mission took out some of the radar for the S300, claiming Iran was now vulnerable to aerial attacks. It turned out they weren't lying, and they were able to fly in dozens of stealth fighters in the past few 48 hours with ease. Still, the paths were narrow. Today they claim to have completely eliminated took out remaining air defense assets, which is why you'll see chaotic fire from 'dumb' AA guns like it's WWII. This means the jets will fly unrestrained over even the capital, like it is Lebanon or Gaza.

I think they are using Iraq as a base. There is footage of Israeli fighters casually refueling somewhere out there with claims it was over Iran. I wouldn't be surprised as it seems like there is not the strongest AA weaponry over there at this point.

ModeForJoe

Imagine China sends some of their AA kit to Iran to "test" it's performance up against F35s... and the damn things actually work and shoot down some fighters! We have no idea how well China's kit works against ours, so the motivation to test is certainly there. If they do try it and it works, Taiwan is in even deeper jeapordy. Puts on TSMC AND Lockheed if that happens ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Dankshoulderpads710

They can’t shut down the strait - Israel just wiped all their AA systems (again) and they are down a bunch of senior commanders. Them trying would probably be resolved in a week by US/UK/Israeli air forces /navies.

>Again in Syria, Israel used standoff weapons to avoid AA altogether. Remember when Israel's helicopters flew to the Western Syria mountains, conducted an hourslong [commando raid](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/13/world/middleeast/israel-raid-syria-hezbollah.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OU8.VPXI.fV8EEAvEyB6p&smid=nytcore-android-share), took off and flew all the way back home? Israel flew multiple drones over the site and bombed Syrian troops.

I'm *very* curious what your source is on this, because every previous aerial attack on Iranian targets has been: 1. Israel F-35s fly over hostile airspace defended by AA missiles 1. You're talking about Syria, where Israel was using F-35's with Rampage an AIR LORA standoff missiles, Popeye, Ice Breaker & wind demon standoff missiles and SPICE glide bombs. Not dumb bombs. 2. F-35s either ignore said AA missiles on the way in & out, striking whatever they were aiming for, or take out the AA as well 1. Again in Syria, Israel used standoff weapons to avoid AA altogether. at Isfahan (hitting a radar and missile battery!), and all over Iran last October (where a nuclear research site, AA and missile production sites were all destroyed!)  But this didn't happen. Israel used ALBM's fired from Western Iraq. We have satellite images of what got hit. From the Satellite images, it looks pretty marginal. Radar is loud, you can hear Iranian OTH on the long range radio, its super intense in the middle east, literally jams out several commercial and military bands, that's going strong, no decline. We know that Iran delivered ballistic missiles and SAM's to Russia for Ukraine and that they are consuming vast stocks of rocket fuel from China, so it doesn't look like production suffered at all. I don't know where you're getting the figure of 800 from. The [Libya campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya), though taking months, used just 260 aircraft and was aimed at defanging the entire country's military. The Iran strikes would be to destroy remaining air assets/air defense and destroy all nuclear facilities. If you think Qaddafi era Libya (7 million people, in the middle of a civil war, 11 Billion GDP PPP) and Iran are comparable(92 million people, unified state, 1.8 trillion GDP PPP), well I can't really say anything then.

>Contrary to what the Israelis claim, Iranian air defenses seem to be at full strength. I'm *very* curious what your source is on this, because every previous aerial attack on Iranian targets has been: 1. Israel F-35s fly over hostile airspace defended by AA missiles 2. F-35s either ignore said AA missiles on the way in & out, striking whatever they were aiming for, or take out the AA as well That's it. That's what happened in Syria for the past 12 years, what happened in 2024 in Damascus (the Syrian capital!), at Isfahan (hitting a radar and missile battery!), and all over Iran last October (where a nuclear research site, AA and missile production sites were all destroyed!) Not once was an Israeli jet shot down, except for an F-16 in 2018, and that was *Syrian* air defense. >We'd need more than just carrier aviation to handle Iran. Maybe 800 ground based fighters, a lot of destroyers packing cruise missiles. This would be a major war. We'd have to strip air and ballistic missile defenses from everywhere. This would take months. I don't know where you're getting the figure of 800 from. The [Libya campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya), though taking months, used just 260 aircraft and was aimed at defanging the entire country's military. The Iran strikes would be to destroy remaining air assets/air defense and destroy all nuclear facilities. >The Iranians would see it coming. Not if they thought Trump was bluffing and trying to get a better deal. >Then all they need to do is test a nuke or 5. And we'd pack it all up and go home as chaos grips the region. If Iran tested a nuke, the best-case scenario is all Gulf States and Israel and all US bases in the area immediately attacking Iran with all air assets they have, for as long as it takes to destroy Iran's military and government. This is why *if* Iran ever announces they have nukes, it will be just that: an announcement (that they will most likely walk back after the US+allies make it very clear the Iranian state is about to be destroyed if they don't). Any test would cause a huge regional reaction and you either don't realize this or glossed over it. >I don't think Trump wants to go down this road, just like every president before him. But AIPAC and their moles in congress and fox are really twisting his arm hard. It's not about what leaders *want*, it's about what they feel is the last bad option or what is necessary or not. There's a pretty high chance that Bush legitimately thought Iraq was building WMD it was willing to use, and that invading was something the US *had to do*. Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the fact that "he kept us out of war", but after the election, he decided the US could no longer stand by and let democracy fall to an empire in Europe. >He's at 38% approval and is unpredictable. Who knows, he might jump the gun and launch a campaign unprepared thinking it will be as easy as the Israelis keep saying it will be. Seeing as he has a [history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%E2%80%93May_2025_United_States_attacks_in_Yemen) of doing this, it's a distinct possibility.

yeah, pretty much this. I fly out of DFW many times a year. AA has a significant number of BA aircraft, matter of fact the big boys that take me to Japan are all 787s. If I had to say "if it's Boeing I ain't going" then I'd probably lose my job, LOL. I like the 737max much more than the a321, that's for sure. And it's not like Airbus doesn't have their own share of problems.

relevant__comment

Sheesh I was literally just weighing my options on booking a ticket that had either an a321neo or 787 servicing the route. The 787 is a highly technical plane. We’ll see what comes of the investigation. AA just started rolling out their new business class on these too. Horrible timing seeing as they’re all going to be grounded soon.

For long term buy and holds: - Fidelity - Vanguard - Chase I say this bc they have the highest AUM and if they fail, we probably have bigger problems to deal with. If you want to trade: AAA - - IBKR - Tasty - Tradestation AA - - Schwab - Fidelity - E*Trade - Webull (I don’t know if you can sell naked on Webull, idts) A - - RH (great if you only use mobile, but you literally can’t even short shares + there’s so many horror stories) I’ve never used public/etoro/moomoo M1 has some cool visual / auto rebalance features and it’s very popular with dividend investors although you can’t immediately buy or sell anything. If you’re brand new I personally recommend fidelity, ibkr or Schwab. They have the best balance of everything. Or you can be hip and get a cool UI with RH.

You hear this a lot in AA.

Illustrious-Watch-74

One could argue that if 2 companies have similar structural inefficiencies in the business units they contain…merging them lets you combine the similar parts of each into a larger whole which theoretically achieves efficiency through scale. Then, as step 2 you can spin out the (combined) inefficient business units into an independent company thats better equipped to survive on its own. So it’s AB + AB = AABB (with some trimming of fat) Then you split AABB into AA and BB. All that said…more often than not the above voodoo math is being forced by execs, bankers, and consultants who all get their fees and bonuses just for doing the deal. And they’ll point to a success story as the template, whether it directly applies or not.

The feds will HAVE to cut rates this year. Why? 9 trillion dollars of Fed treasuries are maturing this year on top of the 1.2 trillion in deficit, that means the government is gonna have to borrow over 10 trillion dollars this year admist a credibility crisis with the US being downgraded to AA+. If they don't lower interest rate, the US will go bankrupt.

330 neo is 3db quieter on average but cruises .03 Mach slower than the 787 so do you want it to be marginally quieter or do you want to get to your destination faster? Legroom is a function of airline preference and cabin sup contractor-not airframe oem. Sit in economy of AA 320 neo and then united 737 max and tell me who has more legroom (hint: neither they have the same pitch, United seat width is marginally higher) No doubt the 737 max has been terrible for Boeing, but the 737 family on whole is still at ~.2 incidents per million take offs, which is actually lower than airbus .26 incidents per million take offs.

Unemployment will be over 6 % from government layoffs, contracts, and the reduced bilateral trade from tariffs. It is already moving up. The USD, already down 10 % will continue its decline as the free world turns against the US and its currency. Foreclosures, car repos and business failures will all be on the rise, due to inflation, trade wars and job losses. Companies not failing will see profits decline or turn to losses. Tourists to and within US , previously a big contributor to GDP will be way down, due to anger at and fear of the US coupled with people not having discretionary income to vacation. Airlines are cancelling fights and entire routes Scientific research will grind to a halt, preventing future innovation in health care and all other industries due to cancellation of research grants, preventing innovation over the next 10 to 20 years Higher education will be dire financial straits, with some colleges and universities going belly up as foreign students flee or are kicked out and research grants disappear. While unemployment will be high, those put of work will not take the low wage openings of the recently deported since they cannot survive on minimum wage and that work is dangerous and exhausting This year’s college grads will not be able to find work. Homelessness, property crime and food insecurity will rise, because basic essentials will have become too expensive and job losses will take their toll Homeowner’s insurance is going up in price due to catastrophic storms from worsening climate change. These issues will cause interest rates to rise, further exacerbating all the above problems The US will get closer to defaulting on debt with foreigners selling off US debt which will cause the AA rating to decline to A or worse.( Defaulting on debt is Trump’s go to move) Home prices will fall but higher rates will depress sales as more property comes onto the market. Rents will fall as valuations fall. Recent buyers will be upside down. Homeowners insurance will rise due to climate change worsened “ natural” disasters. This will drive up condo HOAs Oil prices will fall due to declines in demand worldwide. US producers with higher costs to get to that oil vs Middle Eastern producers will shut down. This will likely be worse than the great depression. Those disagreeing will insult me rather than provide any evidence to refute any part of this.

NVDA decreased about 14% in the two weeks following the February earnings report, which was also good. I guess the difference now is the tariff threats are not seen as anything serious, whereas in February, it felt like the end of the world.

Well, a number of thoughts: 1. How did you decide on this? 2. Roth _what_? Is this a 401k or IRA? 3. Are you really out of tax-advantaged space? It's fairly common for people to be able to contribute to a 401k, an IRA, and an HSA, and if so you have to be putting away a lot of money a year to need to fall back on a taxable brokerage account. 4. If this is all for retirement, then it's a single portfolio and should be treated as such, which means your asset allocation should be in aggregate (we don't know what your AA is because we don't know how much is in these two accounts). And then you go about distributing it according to [tax-efficient principles](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Tax-efficient_fund_placement). Subquestions on question one will involve why you think listing on the nasdaq means a company will do better financially, and the single country risk of the portfolio.

The two couldn’t be more different. AA has literally screwed their retail investors at every turn, remember $APE? RC improve the bottom line at every turn. Zero debt, $6B cash in hand. Things that AA can’t say, nonetheless dream of. Don’t put those two in the same basket.

China economy rated NEGITIVE Moody's maintained its negative outlook on China on Monday, citing concerns that tensions with major trading partners could have a long-lasting negative impact on its credit profile. Affirming its A1 rating, which Moody's lowered to 'negative' from 'stable' in December 2023, the credit ratings agency said "the drivers of (China's) negative outlook have changed," in a shift from concerns about local government debt and the health of state-owned firms.

Most fund managers have Treasuries in their own special “above AA rating” based on previous downgrades (S&P, Fitch) reportedly. There’s also more global weakness but mostly at the long end as summarized by Reuters > .. Most of the selling of Treasuries, UK gilts and Japanese government bonds (JGBs) has been at the long end of the curve, driven by concerns that Trump's trade war and tax cuts will stoke inflation and force governments to spend more …../Germany could emerge as a winner of that process. While its yields have also spiked this year following massive stimulus that signals more borrowing, it remains the only Group of Seven economy with a debt-to-GDP ratio below 100%…In fact, during a global bond selloff seen in April, investors flocked to German Bunds. [course it’s a 2% and change yield] https://www.reuters.com/business/global-bond-markets-signal-governments-must-pay-more-borrow-long-term-2025-05-22/ So large buyers of the long bond are waiting as the interview revealed in the link above. The US 10 yr is more important now and that’s a bit more resistant (though not fireproof). Also, there’s been more talk about geopolitical instability in every region, but the US may be a net beneficiary there (2 oceans, powerful military).

The grocery store AA strip steaks are usually on sale for 8/pound near me in Canada. They used to be decent but they started importing beed from Mexico. Far too tough. Another store that usually has better steak had AAA strips for 10/pound last month, they were really good, nice marbling. Last week I bought these nice prime rib eyes, they were 18/pound on sale, normally 25/pound. Pork tenderloin or chicken thighs at 3/pound is my better option.

If you need advice on picking international funds let me know, but otherwise I'm going to assume you're looking for advice on how to go about moving into them. The first step is determining your target asset allocation (again, if this is something you need help with say, I've got links). Then: Option one: put any new contributions into the new funds until you reach your target AA. Option two: sell to rebalance, either directly or in chunks Personally I'm in the camp of fixing any risk problems immediately if taxes aren't at play. A little bit ago when US took a dump would've been an unfortunate time, but it's back up mostly for now so whatever, I'd just do it to get it done. Btw, you didn't mention if you have multiple accounts, but if you have several, your portfolio should be considered looking at those in aggregate.

Guys, I've got to say, I gave American Airlines a chance. A fair shake. Took the status match, did Platinum Pro for a few months and here's what I've learned: 1) $AA fucking sucks. Nothing else compares to Delta's level of service. Don't even care that I have to connect often. It's a different class of people on there. There's internet. And TV screens. The stewardesses are hotter. The planes are more comfy. My luggage actually goes on the plane I am flying on and arrives on time. Their customer service representatives speak English and are actually vested in finding solutions for their travelers. Through 20 flights over the past two months, AA failed at literally all of this. Told my boss I will never fly with them again. Calls on $DAL it is. Thanks.

Treasury auctions had a poor showing. 16 Bil of 20Y treasuries were sold at 5.047% yield compared to a month ago of 4.810%. Bid-to-cover fell from 2.63 to 2.46. Long-end yields spiked. 10Y: 4.54% -> 4.58% 20Y: 5.05% -> 5.10% 30Y: 5.02% -> 5.07% The budget reconciliation talks are not exactly inspiring on the fiscal health of the U.S. On top of that, 20Y JGB (Japanese Bonds) also had a poor showing yesterday. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/weakness-of-long-dated-treasurys-puts-focus-on-20-year-bond-auction/ar-AA1Fa9z6 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/japan-s-super-long-yields-rise-to-all-time-highs-on-fiscal-auction-concerns/ar-AA1FbmQ8 Stay in gold.

Portfoliana

This is only the second time in modern history that the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded – the first being in 2011 when S&P cut it from AAA to AA+. Back then, markets initially sold off, but Treasuries ironically *rallied*, as investors still viewed them as the global safe haven. What followed was a period of extreme political dysfunction (the debt ceiling crisis under Obama), but economically, the U.S. continued to chug along with low rates and solid growth. The downgrade didn’t materially increase borrowing costs – at least not immediately. What’s different now? * Debt-to-GDP is much higher (\~120% vs. \~95% in 2011) * Interest payments are now over 15% of federal revenue – a post-WWII high * The Fed is no longer suppressing yields with QE * Geopolitical competition (China, BRICS, etc.) raises questions about dollar dominance So while the downgrade itself might not spark a crisis, it’s a symptom of a larger structural problem. Investors should watch *real* yields, dollar demand, and auction coverage going forward – not just the headline rating.

Honestly, I think a country whose President openly talks about not paying back its debt obligations and use it as pressure to get lenders to agree to a reduced pay back plan, shouldn't even have a AA rating. Considering how many things Trump threw over in only a few months, I think there is a high chance that bonds with maturity dates >3y are not going to be paid back in full.

Maybe crickets because Moody is late to the game. Read the big short, the rating agencies didn’t do their work then either. ⸻ 1. Standard & Poor’s (S&P) • Downgrade Date: August 5, 2011 • Action: Downgraded the U.S. from AAA to AA+ • Status Since: No changes since 2011 • S&P was the first major agency to downgrade U.S. debt, citing concerns over political brinkmanship during the debt ceiling standoff. ⸻ 2. Fitch Ratings • Downgrade Date: August 1, 2023 • Action: Downgraded from AAA to AA+ • Reason: Cited repeated debt ceiling standoffs, deteriorating fiscal governance, and growing debt burden. ⸻ 3. Moody’s Investors Service • Downgrade Date: May 16, 2025 • Action: Downgraded from Aaa to Aa1 • Reason: Persistent large fiscal deficits and rising interest costs, with no political consensus to reverse the trend.
