Don't worry, if there is a ww3 we won't live to see the conclusion.

Honestly, when WW3 happens,the actual fighting would be measured in day(s), maybe week(s); but not years. 1 of 2 things would happen very quickly. 1) Countries destroy each other and fighting stops due to a lack of things left to destroy/destroy with or 2) World leaders will be smarter and very quickly and hastily create a treaty before 1 happens, likely resulting in the abuse of those who are willing to make peace at their own expense to save millions-billions of lives. And a distant but unlikely possibility is that 3) USA (& its allies) beat-down everyone. When you compare military statistics it could be done- maybe. but not without major repercussions.

/Just my 2 cents.

OT: Yeah no worries guys, the market will be fine.

stock markets go down all the time, it's the natrual way of those things. 2% is nothing and is probably due to some company fulfilling it's share stock on some big business deal or something. it will probably gradually go down for some time and then if nothing big happens go up again.

everyone that followes the market knows you don't get a panic attack everytime a stock goes down. espacilly not on just 2%. it's bound to happen from time to time but in the context of months and years the curve goes up. the american stock market today have more points then they did last year, an indication of growth.

edit: @LED ZEPPELIN, can i get the key to your house? if what you say is true you won't be living there anymore and a house won't be of any use in the very near future, so just give me the papers and the key since it's worthless now. it won't help me when the pirates invade norwegia but then again, it won't help you as well so you don't lose anything importent.

This isn't severe enough to trigger a full-out collapse.

This is a more orderly migration. While a steep drop today, it shows just how out of touch investors are with reality - as anyone with any lick of sense knows that the industrial and manufacturing prospects of the U.S. are, with few exceptions, a precipitous bear of a market.

They have now shifted their investments over into more "secure" holdings - various real-estate holdings, municipal and treasury bonds.

The real fun is when those devalue following the announcement that the insurance companies will be bailed out. That will trigger a run on the banks that will cause all kinds of chaos (though currency being as digital as it is, today, helps to alleviate the threat of bank-runs... at least domestically within the Federal Reserve cartel).

My bet would be on energy and shipping companies. Those are going to become exceptionally important over the coming years and will explode in value as truck-stops and train stations become the cultural hub of post-dollar America. At least for a few years, until replacement currencies begin to circulate more freely with more regionally recognized values.

You do realise stocks crashed in 2013 too, right? Around October or so for the same reason. They rebounded, no WW3 started, etc. You're really taking this issue out of context.

The emerging markets are losing their ground, billions of dollars have been pulled because of the scare and how they can't handle their currencies, they are losing liquidity ... Not to mention the potential China slowdown

And every major western company's growth has been in those markets

Do the math
