Vanity: Prediction Thread - Will the US Stock Markets (Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ, etc.) Be Up, Down, or Neutral Because of the Despicable Invasion of Israel By Hamas?

Oct 8 (Reuters) - Major stock markets in the Gulf tumbled on Sunday amid worries that rising conflict between Palestinian group Hamas and Israel threatens to spiral.

Israel pounded Gaza on Sunday after suffering its bloodiest attack in decades when Hamas fighters rampaged through Israeli towns a day earlier, threatening a major new war in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia's benchmark index (.TASI) slumped 1.6%, the sharpest decline in 10 months.

UP - because overseas war is good for business, and money will flow to the US looking for safety, etc.

DOWN - because this could balloon into WW3 (if we're not there already) and there will be no safe haven for investments

NEUTRAL - some combination of the above

The market is as controlled as the opposition in DC. My give a damn is busted.

Oil will probably go up even more. Doesn’t that effect things?

Find out what Jim Cramer is predicting. The opposite will probably happen.

Lots of vanna in the option market if we can clear 4300 spx. So looking for a rise to 4400 by opex around 20 Oct. Could be a real vol crush at the end, if there is signs of peace.

On Friday, lots of oil hit a possible support area, look for a bounce in energy equities at a minimum.

If I had to guess, I’d say “down.” The markets typically see mideast turmoil as potentially disruptive to world oil supplies.

Down-because those who perpetrated this event are working in unison with those controlling our government. And their goal is to bring not only this country to her knees but also to crash the economies of the nations around the world.

The desire of the puppet masters is to bring about, a one world global gvt. A one world global currency. A one world global religion.

This is the trifecta goal of the global puppet masters united with klaus schwabb and associates.

I can find nothing to argue with in your post
Buckle up, everyone. Things are going to get very dicey very soon.

Iran must NOT be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons or continue their sponsoring of terrorism.

“Find out what Jim Cramer is predicting. The opposite will probably happen.”

Right, because he’s gone from buying stocks $100 at a time while living in his car to a multi-millionaire who also has a Charitable Trust that gives away over $6mm a year. Your stock market success may vary.

Nobody has a great record when it comes to predicting stock movements, everybody is wrong a lot, but the good ones still make money because you don’t have to be right all the time to do so. Some are just better at knowing “when to hold them and when to fold them”.

Regarding the invasion and many other reasons, I don’t see any positives ahead. Money is king, but I’m preferring land(not structures) as an investment along with cash.

For those of us who own oil stocks, it sure does! 😃
