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

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.

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

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.

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.
