Investing in a War is a Good Business

[MadMax]

Investing during a war can be profitable due to increased demand for certain goods and services. Defense contractors, like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, often see stock prices rise as governments ramp up military spending. Commodities like oil and gold also tend to increase in value due to supply disruptions and economic uncertainty. For instance, during the Iraq War, oil prices surged, benefiting energy companies. However, investing in wartime industries can be ethically complex and carries significant risks due to market volatility and the unpredictable nature of conflicts.
