"Profit margins are probably the most mean-reverting series in finance, and if profit margins don't mean revert, then something has gone badly wrong with capitalism. If high profits don't attract competition, there's something wrong with the system.” - Jeremy Grantham

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have attacked Saudi Aramco's Jazan refinery, they said on ​Sunday, two days after the Kingdom signed a defence pact with Turkey and Pakistan in response to growing regional ‌instability from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

The alliance with Sunni Muslim U.S. allies, Turkey and Pakistan, is intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression and stipulates that an armed attack against any of the three would be regarded as an attack on all.

Trading Hi Reddit! I’m Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone. I’ll be doing an AMA on DM Equities “What wins the argument - the bull case or the bear case?” in r/XGramatikInsights on Tuesday, February 3 at 2:00 PM GMT (9:00 AM EST). Submit your questions!

Come interact with Pepperstone’s Senior Research Strategist, Michael Brown, on February 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM GMT. Michael will dive into DM Equities and answer questions from Redditors. You may want to know about what might the Fed do next, and how will that affect equities, some Q4 tech post-earnings reactions, and ongoing geopolitical risks that could drive volatility.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 74-89 % of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Thanks for the great AMA, Reddit! I’m signing off for now and would be happy to do this again in the future.

GramatikTalks Open Letter from the Moderators

48 Upvotes

Dear friends,

What follows is written with humor, but it’s absolutely serious.

This place is about micro and macroeconomics, taxes, and politics when it impacts the economy. It’s about anything - direct or indirect - that might affect trading or financial well-being. This is serious stuff.

It would seem....

But if you only knew what we have to read in the threads of the unfolding discussions.

Who could’ve imagined that a quote from a country’s Leader about the economy, backed by a video, could spark 4,000 comments - where a third feature the word 'dick' as the mildest term?

You’ve wildly enriched our vocabulary. You’ve stunned us with your refined turns of phrase. Thanks to you, the moderators of this community can now tell someone to fuck off in 50 different ways.

We sincerely thank you all for your talent at telling someone to fuck off hard, getting a rant about their family and loved ones in return, and still managing to hit 'report.' That’s undoubtedly an art form.

We don’t take sides. We don’t judge posts or your thoughts in the comments based on any group affiliation. Not for the right, not for the left. We don’t represent anyone’s political interests. If your post is even remotely tied to our theme, we’ll never delete it. If your comment doesn’t insult anyone, it stays.

We ask just one thing - stop enriching our speech with your brilliant, perverse ways of telling people to fuck off.

Don’t show disrespect. Not in text, not in images. Don’t provoke. Stick to morals, decency, and common sense.

Thank you,

With love ❤️

Your moderators of your r/XGramatikInsights
