IT ALL depends what you have shares in?
if in armaments then yes, as NO war will take place, so you lose money.

What war with Iran? If the US destroy the nuclear enrichment installations in a surgical way (the only way they would get involved I think), then I do not think that markets will react much. they may even be relieved. If they try and fail, that's not great but still OK. If on the back of this Iran successfully agitates for a higher oil price, that is still OK because oil has much less impact on the economy and the broad market than in the 70s and 80s. An embargo would definitely cause a hiccup in the short term but accelerate substitution by other sources of energy and conservation, two excellent developments. The worst is the political and terrorist risk. And it all depends on what shares you have of course.

Yes, especially OIL shares. Any sort of bad news will cause a wobble effect on stock markets around the world.
LSE & NYSE both are packed with people who have to shake a bag of bones before making any decision on just about anything. It gets even worse. I watched guys on TV some time ago in the LSE tossing a pair of lead pigs in the air above a table, if the pigs landed in the 'shagging' position, this was called "makin' bacon". These guys then started dealing. Are we all mad or what?

You need to look at what your shares are in, and how they are linked: the deciding factors could be not only what you have invested in, but also where in the world you have invested in. Its the nature of the stock market - complex.

The bottom line is, if we go to war with Iran, your stocks should be the least of your worries....

I wouldn't worry about a war with Iran, so your stocks will be fine.
If USA can't beat a bunch of hoodlums in Iraq, then I wonder how we can beat a strong Iranian military.

it style of feels to me that the two Democrats and Republicans are pushing this time table. Bush and Obama the two look to love the conquest technique. I continuously concept Democrats desire the consent technique. i admire the way a number of your responders % to shoot the messengers particularly of refuting the message. isn't James Warburg, the son of Paul Warburg that helped draft the Federal Reserve Act of 1913?

Is the Pope a Catholic?
If I new what shares you owned I'd be tempted to spread nasty rumours about those companies.
Please tell us all you are not really that shallow, and this question was a wind up after to many glasses of wine!
