War is a money maker...3 Apr 2022 00:23
As my subject title says. War has been the greatest money maker for decades. The Bush family made hundreds of millions from the Gulf Wars (who owned shares in Haliburton etc? Look up which company rebuilt Iraq ;)) Go long oil etc, short anything that'll be impacted. Sell arms on the blackmarket; give inflated contracts to companies to rebuild countries. There's billions to be made on all sides.
RA is unlikely to suffer from sanctions. He'll prob come out ahead given his business acumen and contacts. VP certainly won't suffer. It'll be the little folk, as always.
At the end of the day, it's all one big money making game, where only the whales prosper. Folk are on here all day, day after day thinking their ****y few hundred or thousand make a difference. Punts of 700,000 shares doesn't give you insight either btw - just more money or imagination than sense. Feck me, go out and enjoy your day or focus on a share that can be influenced if that's your thing.
There's some great insight on here (very rare), and some great experience in shares......but feck me, there's an awful lot of utter bu**sh*t.
ATB - I'm only here for 8k shares.
