What are the best investments we can make Before/During the war between Russia and NATO? Share your knowledge!
There's a very high possibility that we will witness to a full-scale war in 2022. Even though Putin threatened NATO with the use of nuclear weapons recently, I don't believe that NATO will back off or Russia really will use those weapons.
Let's make this a thread where investment/finance professionals share their knowledge.
Which investment options would be the best during a potential war between Russia and NATO? (Assuming no one is using nuclear or chemical bombs to end the human race.)
- Which type of currencies, stocks, and precious metals should we buy?
- Could Bitcoin be a good choice of investment?
- What are the other things that we should do?
Please, share your opinions and more of your knowledge in the comments!
Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. That’s like saying “will madoff be a good investment during the coming war?”. Finra needs to put bitcoin as a auto fail question on the series 7 and sanction those who recommend it.
Still a better investment than a career in Corporate Banking
For stocks you obv would want the defense sector such as lockheed martin, boeing, raytheon
This is dumb. Any conflict in Eastern Europe would not use expensive and impractical "glass cannon" vehicles such as aircrafts. Wars are won with boots on the ground, oil to transport said boots and grain to feed said boots.
As usual, oil, agriculture and heavy industry will surge. Defense/aerospace will not. Aircrafts are for asymmetrical wars, not one against a peer nation.
This is not a financial advice but I seriously doubt the imminent Russian Ukrainian war for the following reasons:
1- While the western media has been warming up westerner for this war, the russian propaganda has not started yet. This is crucial since Putin would not start a war without the backing of the general population. Its just like when the invasion of Taiwan by china was "imminent" back in 2021.
2- Putin does not have the backing of the russian population for a war against Ukraine. As Putin himself declared Russians and Ukrainians are the same people, many Russian have family in Ukraine and vice versa. Unprovoked, a war against Ukraine and the subsequent images of dead Ukrainians would seriously hurt Putin's authority and power.
3- I think Russia is showing its muscles and will try to exert influence on Ukraine to push it back into the russia sphere, maybe through covert ops, small skirmishes... but not a total war
I would execute your strategy if I would hear that Ukraine is taking a step toward joining the EU or NATO. Until then I'm holding.
My portfolio is now canned goods and shotgun shells.
