What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports President Trump said the Iran war could end 'the nice way' or 'the not-so-nice way,' adding, 'pretty soon you'll find out.'

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga's angle is a geopolitical risk premium for energy and defense stocks.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us by satellite is Wendell Farthing-Moss, Inmate number 40417, from a minimum-security facility.

  4. Wendell Farthing-MossThanks, Hank. The food here is a crime, which is ironic, because I only committed the fun kind.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMr. Farthing-Moss, the president is giving Iran two options and no date. How does the market read that?

  6. Wendell Farthing-MossVague threats are great for business, Hank. I once told investors a fund would 'end nicely or not-so-nicely.' They loved it.

  7. Wendell Farthing-MossRight up until the subpoenas.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs that what put you in the facility?

  9. Wendell Farthing-MossAllegedly, I mislabeled a spreadsheet. Allegedly, the spreadsheet was a boat. Allegedly, the boat was also a fund.

  10. Wendell Farthing-MossI can't say more, my cellmate Gary is listening.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's stay on oil. Energy traders watch this kind of rhetoric. Does a risk premium actually mean anything?

  12. Wendell Farthing-MossA risk premium is fear with a nice haircut. In here we trade it for pudding cups. Pudding is up, Hank. Way up.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll note that is not a BBN data point. And the pudding market is unregulated, I assume.

  14. Wendell Farthing-MossCompletely unregulated, and I'm cornering it. Which is, between us, how I got here in the first place. Whoops.

  15. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe'll have to leave it there. Wendell Farthing-Moss, thank you. The president's remarks were reported by Benzinga, and the rest was pudding.
