tide,

I had the exact opposite experience a few years ago. Was holding WFMI (Whole Foods Market) when it started dropping like a rock on no news. I got creamed and finally exited.

Then they released news that a hurricane (a week prior) had wiped out several of their stores.

There are bomb plays for airport security like InVision. Earthquake repair stocks have been dogs for years. You might try claim adjusting or water log services (ServiceMaster) for hurricanes. Property/Casualty carriers actually rise after disasters as it increases their leverage to raise rates.

Trading is trading...i would think that lumber, home depot, home fix-it centers, lanscapers, construction companies...i recall when St. Thomas got blown away about 3,4 years ago, I had two freinds that moved 3/4 of the equipment and operations to the virgin islands for the recovery work and made excellent money.
Supply and demand. Demand high, supply low for such items.
Regards,
Steve
