I am wondering about the impact of USD value and all the stocks in the US market.
@doctorpot1
I'm worried that countries may flock to other reserve currencies instead, thus devaluing the USD. Then with a damaged economy and a huge debt, they may have to keep printing money just to repay them as all of them are USD denominated bonds, which devalues USD again. that will be bad for a lot of portfolios
Taking a long-term approach to invest and staying the course is the best strategy.
@HopeAlways
World war three, if any, will no doubt increase market volatility, but it will not have a long-term impact on the market as history has shown. Defense stocks often become popular because of their direct impact on such armed conflict, but demand for safe haven investments like gold and cash can also increase during such periods of unrest.
Stock Market could be the last thing we will worry about, in the event of a WW3.
@Syuee
War is truly a double-edged sword to traders / investors.
It would usually start out with a huge plunge.
The market dislikes uncertainty and the start of a War is practically the definition of that term. War is the most uncertain activity that humans engage upon.

I would recommend the followings to protect our assets:
@ZnWC
1. Stocks will stay resilient amid the war. I'll still invest in the U.S. market but would likely to focus on diversification: think ETFs and gold.
2. Learn to adapt to inflation as commodity price will rise.
3. Don’t panic sell.
4. Use stock options
5. Invest in the safe haven
6. Will I invest in cryptocurrency ? Yes mainly in the blue chips such as BTC and ETH.
Defensive stocks and companies that produce weapons and armaments tend to fare the best during a wartime environment.
@KT88
Energy companies may also see a boost in conflicts that result in higher oil and commodity prices. Wars affecting countries which produce crude-oil and natural gas often result in energy cost spikes which directly impact most consumers. Damage to extraction sites and refineries can result in production cuts and losses. The same applies to other commodities.
The bad ones are the loss of lives, massive destruction, and war will have negative financial impacts.
@cola1010
We must consider a well-diversified portfolio, which includes, for example, energy stocks, defence stocks, cash, commodities, and ETFs, which are stocks and investments that typically perform well during times of war and conflict.

Investors should adjust their investment portfolio in safe assets.
@Southern Eagle
It is an investment in an asset that is expected to maintain it's principal or increase it's value during times of volatile economic conditions like war. And can reduce the risk in the event of entering an economic downturn, such as investing in companies that directly benefit from war. Investors can consider dividend paying stocks, especially low-volatility dividend ETFs.
We need to study regularly to keep up with the situation of the world.
@Double Rainbow
hould adjust the investment portfolio according to the situation because each asset has different risks and returns in different times and situations. During war, our asset diversification can shift and rebalancing gives us the opportunity to manage risk and to keep our investments aligned.
I will seek to survive rather than to invest anymore in the stock markets.
@12moon
Wall Street and major stock exchanges may even be destroyed by nuclear attack. The risks of investing far outweigh any gain. To protect existing investments, I will liquidate them and hold cash mainly in physical gold as fiat monies will lose its purchasing powers. I may escape to lonely places of no human interest, to wait out WW3.
