Would you stay invested in the stock market if WW3 developed?

It would be completely unrestrained government spending in that scenario. It would be the only way to save

Yes. If the market doesn't recover we're screwed anyway.

Most investors would overestimate the probability of total collapse and underestimate the probability of prolonged inflation, volatility, and economic regime change.
Short term: major reallocation to mitigate liquidity and inflation risk
Long term: hard to say.

If I started buying for the first time yesterday, probably not.
If I had a deeply discounted cost basis, sure.

I wouldnt be selling after the fact into a down market. Nor, speculating we might enter ww3 before the fact.
If I was still in accumulation phase I'd keep steady buying. What else am I to do with the $ long term. A total market collapse likely means we lost or all of civilization suffered catastrophically and we're F'd anyway. I'm all in, riding with Team America

WWII did wonders for the stock market.

It’s that or go to gold. In no universe am I staying in cash when the government is turning the money printer up to hyperspeed.

Property and currency take on a whole other risk factor when the government that ensures your ownership and currency viability is under threat.
Imagine the CCP taking over and basically telling everyone that nobody owns their property any more and to report for work duty.
So i would probably invest heavily to ensure that we won instead of lost.

This is a legitimate scenario as the balance of the world order is strained.

Yes, I would take advantage of defense stocks, particularly drone players
Then the layers underneath that provide that support
Palantir would probably go buck wild since they would be front and center in every engagement.

Meh, bipolar order is often considered most stable. The US unipolar moment was a blip historically. Better to have a bi polar balance (US/China) than multi.polar competition in a nuclear world. It yielded one of the longest periods of relatively limited global conflict during the Cold War.

Granted the US was also recovering from the Great Depression. WW2 created jobs for men and women.
