dr. evil--
war isnt that good for the market, even for individual stocks.
lets play this out to its logical conclusion. NK invades SK. NK is cut in two by the american and SK forces. china pledges support to the north, and they invade taiwan. US places a surface fleet off taiwan.clinton, while he may not want to has no choice on this.
now, we get a pause...does everyone back down..oh, i dont think so...because to avert attention the chinese get the pakistanis to launch a nuke against new delhi. then the indians attack pakistan, the chinese escalate against india, and the US and india bomb china. then china nukes LA, san francisco, seattle, maybe even phoenix. oh, i forgot hawaii.
so, where does it end? maybe there. one thing is for sure...no one is going to be buying computers, thereby reducing MUs dram sales. hell, a chinese boat might be able to get close enough to nuke NYC, and then we get to see dow 2000.
you see this kind of stuff and tie you in knots. wishing for war to help the price of your stock is really kind of futile. unless you own lockheedmartin<G>.
good luck to all,
