What if world war 3 happened later this year.. What would some good stocks be to invest in that would benefit form a war? Any ideas?
I don't think world war 3 would happen this year. If it does the stock market would face an imminent collapse. You can't really say which stocks you can invest it, as the prediction numbers are very tough to say. And you can probably invest in agriculture to be on the safer side. The banking sector is sure to go down.
This is a really vague question. It would really depend on the circumstances of the war, which are pretty much impossible to predict.
I'm quite sure I'd decide to invest in gold or real estate if a war is imminent or had already started... and not turn to the stock market at that point. I know that other investors may disagree, but with things being as volatile as they'd be in that situation, I wouldn't be that much of a risk taker, I'm afraid.
If world war III happened forget investment, it would be a nuclear war so I doubt that life would continue to exist in our planet...
I doubt it would happen, but if it didn't I wouldn't invest in anything. It wouldn't be the time and I don't think any investment would be a good one.
Not sure if I'd be worrying about investments if World Ward III broke out, I'd be too busy running for cover from the bombs, but I guess that any company that handles hospital supplies would be a reasonable bet...
I don't even want to think about another war! If World War 3 were to happen, I think the last thing on people's minds would be investing in the appropriate stocks, I would be more worried about what would happen in my own area of town.
JadeDoo is right. Hahahah invest in an underground bunker, stock up on food, medical supplies, energy sources, other basic necessities, radio equipment and if you plan to stay rich after the war, also stock up on precious metals such as gold & silver. P.s: Or maybe stocking up on current technological luxuries such as smart phones, laptops, tv sets would be a better investment idea as Albert Einstein once said "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"
