The war has begun, what you think the stock market will react?

[ssrgp0]

The war has begun, do you think the stock market will do well or bad? What would you do to your stocks? hold, sell, or buy? What are your thoughts when the market open tomorrow?

depends what area the stocks would be in...but if i recall, FOX said 94% approval rating of Bush's decision to bomb, so would that correlate to consumer confidence goin up?

 

[Tates]

Defense stocks should do well.

Hmm, hard to say. I'm thinking the stock markets would have already factored in the probability of some sort of engagement occuring (i.e. 100% chance) so there may not be much movement related to today's activities. However, a long drawn out conflict could spell trouble.

I suspect the market will drop a little before recovering!

Funny, when a war starts the first thing I think of isn't how to profit from it.

FULL ACK!

it's the same like after the 11th September, when someone asked, in what he shall invest..... freakin' capitalists

The market reacts to uncertainty by dropping, they're open today & they'll drop, not a lot, but they'll go down.

The uncertainty is how long will the conflict go on, will the objectives be met, etc...

When it looks like we are going to win then the markets will shoot up, as per the Gulf War.
