Does war make market go up or down?
As the US invaded Venezuela, the question I get asked a lot is - Will the market go down? From my study of World War 2 (not saying we are in WW2)... At the beginning of WW2, the market still goes up. It is only near the end of WW2 that the loser was clear (that German stock market incurred a total loss) As the US was the victor, the US stock marketwas still strong by the end of WW2. In other words, the stock market goes up even when there's a war.
