Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
This is a topic which is possibly in the back of everyone's mind but can devolve into bickering and arguments if politics are brought into the discussion. I have asked the moderators if I could present it for discussion and we agreed to try and keep things neutral, hypothetical and non-specific. We agree the topic will get locked or deleted if things go off kilter.
So here is the topic/question:
In the event of a limited nuclear exchange somewhere in the world and the prospect of a large disruption in trade relations, what would you do as it related to your personal finances and retirement portfolio?
I know the initial reaction is to not think too much about this, but I would rather have at least an outline of a plan of action, even if that plan is just to stay the course and maintain current stock/bond/cash allocations.
There probably are not too many of us around who were invested during WWII, much less early retired during that time (imoldernu maybe?) so our collective real world experience with vast disruptions in trade and travel may be limited.
