How will you change your Portfolios if we go to war with Iran?

Question

Well i mean what will the affects of this war do to the stockmarket and economy? and what changes will you make to your investments?

Answer 1

Like SARS---a diversion to Iraq War in 2003, and the Tibet Torch boycott----a diversion to this year’s  5th anniversary of Iraq War, the timing of US Israel Iran Attack will be during Beijing Olympic Games.

Answer 2

haven will be gold/commoditys/china stocks

Answer 3

Probably would mean continued dollar weakness which would make commodity based stocks run up even more. (these have had a huge run though)

Cash is probably still smart, but I would avoid bonds.  Interest rate hikes will be coming to combat the weakened dollar and to try and halt the hike in commodity prices. This will hurt the bonds.

Not an easy market right now, so tread lightly.

Good luck!
