I think the various stockmarkets around the world would have been like a roller coaster with ups and downs like you wouldn't believe. Does anyone know anything about how the stockmarkets reacted throughout the Second World War, the Korean War or the Cuban Missile Crisis? I've talked with people who said that the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis had really worried people with the possible nuke echanges... That might give us a good model for the build up to the use of nukes.
After the use of tactical nukes to the actual strategic exchanges the stockmarket could have had several crashes unless someone really took advantage of it and short selled the dollar, pound or mark. George Soros did similar in the past and caused the Pound to collaspe and has done the same with the Dollar.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
