"the historical record doesn't support the common hypothesis that war is bad for the stock market. A study by Ned Davis Research looked at 36 crisis events, most war-related, beginning with the World War I, triggered closing of the stock exchange in 1914 and continuing through the Enron (ENRNQ, news, msgs) testimony before Congress last year. It found that during a crisis, the Dow Jones industrial average ($INDU) fell an average of 6.4%. But right after that, the market rallied -- an average of 3.9% after 22 trading days, 5.1% after 63 and 9.1% after 126." Ned Davis Research
