camerabuff | What stocks to invest in if I expect terrorism attacks in USA? |
I'd like to invest around 10% of my total portfolio in companies that would benefit if there was a Big terrorist attack(s) in the USA. I'm looking for specific names of companies. Thanks. |

It is GOOD to invest in things that will keep your money safe if anything bad happens. C'mon, the guy is investing 10% of his portfolio in something that hopefully won't go down the drain if something bad happens to his country. That isn't bad, that is good. It's not like he knows something and is investing 100% of his money to profit from evil.
Why get attacked and lose your entire retirement savings plan too? That would mean the terrorists have won by screwing your life around.
You can invest in gold and silver. This will keep some of your hard earned money safe. If an attack occurs many stocks will be trading cheap because people will be selling them in greater numbers than people buying. This might be a good time to buy some sound companies doing anything not war related (the same companies who's stocks just plummeted). The war related companies will have already skyrocketed and who wants to profit from war anyways? Not me. Just buy regular companies cheap since they will be 'out of favour' by wall street.
I always suggest people have some money in gold and silver. Things happen in life we can't control, but you might as well be semi-ready for it. Just because the guy doesn't want to lose his entire hard-earned life savings doesn't mean he is evil. Prepared perhaps... evil?... nope. |

First remember, that after 9/11, almost every stock took a large hit. While certain companies would fare better than others on a recovery, almost every company will suffer if there is a major attack. Hence, if you are convinced there will be an attack, then get out of the market completely. (Invest in Gold, and blue chip bonds until the attack). then after an attack, you can buy into companies that may have a commercial interest in the aftermath. You will also know what type of attack has ocurred, which you cant determine now. (Biological attack would favor drug companies, explosions would favor engineering companies) |

I personally like gold coins. These can be used as money anywhere in the world. Get coins that are tracked in the Wall Street Journal. I do not like stocks because if the stock market was attacked or shut down you would not have access to anything. And if the banking system was closed, you would still have your gold to work with! When stocks go down - gold goes up in value. Buy gold coins and stay away from the stock market would be my opinion. |

Catapillar, haliburton, colt, schlumberger, pike (gas pipeline), humvee, microsoft, walmart, dell.
Couple things that would happen, increased defense spending (haliburton, colt), increased spending on construction and renovation (catepillar, schlumberger, pike), increased consumer spending (walmart), increased technology expenses for the government (microsoft, government also purchases dell computers)
Just a thought, you may consider using sector funds like technology sector funds or energy sector funds, because the price of oil does go up with war/terrorism (ExxonMobil, Chevron, Ashland Oil). Fidelity has good sector funds.
Hope this helps
As for everyone trying to tell you you're sick, I suppose they would call Rockefeller, the Kennedy's, and Andrew Carnegie sick as well. I just think you are reacting to market conditions in a volitile world economy, which is smart. Patriotism is by no way swayed by capitalism, unless you are investing in the terrorists themselves, that would be wrong. |

Thinking ahead is good. Any company that supplies food goods that last in a freeze dried condition. Water purifiers , gun makers and ammunition suppliers. Of course that is the Armageddon look at the future. Cash would be of little valve and so would your stocks. What book did you read that scare the #%*#&^$ out of you. |

Disaster stocks....anything connected to the Bush family and friends, Halliburton, oil stocks, military suppliers, helicopter makers, and a favorite of mine, folks who make hazmat suits and safety equipment |

All the people that are trashing you for investing in these stocks are looking through life with rose-colored glasses. Look for defensive companies or companies with ties to the military like Raytheon, etc.
Anyone challenging his diversification strategies needs to look at their own portfolios and make sure none of the companies their funds are invested in are of "pure intentions". Especially making sure that none of your portfolio or family is invested, say, in oil or gas companies.
Raytheon and Haliburton would be a good place to start looking. You can also go through Yahoo or any of the financial sites and seperate the stocks by industry....then look for the defense industry. |

Haliburton. That is sick that you are trying to profit from an attack against our country. |

If you are expecting an attact, the best bet is cash so that you can buy stocks after the attact when they will be selling about at least 15% less than currently. |
