Any moves to make? Stock market always seems to plunge the day after something like this, though of course it always rebounds quickly. Just ride it out? Buying opportunity?

Are there any specific stocks likely to be affected longer term if this drags out, either positively or negatively? Oil or defense-related stocks come to mind.

Like previous encounters I cant imagine this is more than a blip. Don't see any chance of any conflict lasting more than a few hours.

Really no good way to time it.

Plus i think their is congressional risk trying to make a play. looks like House is trying to push bills to force any action to work through congress.

Oil is already running assuming strike already

Disagree with this. If Trump goes in this time, it's for regime change. I don't expect boots on the ground, but a prolonged bombing campaign to support an insurgency is very possible.

You mean like Venezuela? That was obviously a training exercise for Iran in hindsight.

The vote failed for Venezuela, but it the margins are tighter now. looks possible... Granted I think Trump will veto anything that comes out. But I think it does cool rhetoric temporarily

Probably late especially after Israel/Iran last summer and Venezuela 2 months ago. But these are good, stable bets and have been for some time.

Lockheed Martin - LMT - makes nearly everything including most 5th Gen fighters, guidance systems, energetics, heavy engineering, R&D, and famous skunkworks team etc.

Raytheon - RTX -weapons systems, integration tools, guidance systems, naval warfare systems, etc.

Boeing - BA - upcoming 6th Gen fighter, bombs, missiles, etc. At this point Boeing defense has a brighter future than their commercial aircraft arm.

General Dynamics - GD - weapons systems, ground warfare tools, missiles/fire control, navy systems

And broadly the energy companies.

Just catch NBIS,CRWV and IREN at a high point and buy NBIZ,CORD and IREZ. Those three seem to get hit hard when panic kicks in.

Regarding timing, there’s usually a TACO Trade to be made for instances like this. I’ll have to defer to others on specific stocks to take advantage of the volatility.

I’m no longer sure this happens. Our allies in the Middle East aren’t gonna allow us to stage in their countries now. Most of yall won’t like it, but Tucker likely saved us from going to war.

I think you grossly overestimate how many people take Tucker Carlson seriously. Get out of your bubble for a bit. And yes, we are still attacking Iran.

Another blip but since I’m not a day trader nothing to see here.
