Odd market. I expected red to start the week, but it's been green. Do we see a big drop off when first bombs are dropped?
Also, curious......As I've said, I dont think there is a doubt we will win the "war". But how many people think that somehow, someway, they will manage to strike from within, whether it be nuclear, biological, blowing up a nuclear plant and etc, etc.....? Personally, I think they already have people in place and ready to go...it's just a matter of when, where and how. They have more then likely been planning this since at least 9/11, and I would expect when war breaks out, we will see acts of terrorism here in the U.S.
How many people agree with this? And if so, would that not be a MAJOR downer for the markets? Massive loss of american lives, here on our own soil? Worse then the carnage we saw after 9/11, I would think. Anybody agree?
I'm just kind of sitting figuring what to do. Am about 50% cash and 50% vested, which I am doing so if we go up, I have equities that will go up, and if we go down, I have cash to buy my favorites. But I must admitt, after seeing this nice rally and looking ahead at the next month and the uncertainty that at any moment, they could strike and strike hard, I am wondering whether to sell and sit in cash, or just keep what I have, ride it out and if they strike hard and we tank, I simply buy after the carnage. Would be interested to hear what others views and strategies are. Some think we rally, as uncertainty is lifted as war starts, and others think markets will crash in a hurry to levels below 9/11. I admitt, I am at a complete loss at to what to think, but I cant help but to think that these fanatics already have something planned and what will be the repercussions if they blow up a power plant or set off some biological weapon or whatever......Good luck to all....and god bless AMERICA!!!! |
