The $200 Barrel: How the Strait of Hormuz Crisis Redefines Your Portfolio

When the Strait of Hormuz closes, your portfolio reprices overnight. Direct strikes and a contested chokepoint mark the transition from proxy shadow wars to active regional conflict — and $100 oil becomes the new floor, not the ceiling. The $200 Barrel is a fast, concrete field guide to positioning a portfolio for the post-diplomacy era.

This isn't doom-scrolling — it's a playbook. Chapter by chapter it walks the real transmission channels of an energy shock: the defense contractors that profit from retaliation, the LNG pipelines redrawing Europe's energy map, the maritime-insurance surge you can trade, commodity supercycles in food and fuel, and how to build a conflict-proof portfolio without betting the house. Written for investors who want to understand the mechanics of geopolitical risk and act on them.
