Not as scary as maybe you might have thought.
This then leads us on to chapter three,
where you're probably wondering, well, Sim, why do share prices not drop when there is war?
I mean, it kind of, in theory, would make sense.
When I think of war, I think of destruction.
I think of people not working.
I think, what would you do if you were in World War I?
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be logging into LinkedIn and updating as if life is normal and we just go about our day.
And therefore, I kind of would have assumed that the public market would just do terribly until a war would end.
But there are some theories as to why this war effect doesn't have such a strong impact as we would have assumed.
And there's a number of reasons why.
None really have, in my opinion, a very strong, clear, direct answer.
One thing that we have seen, which might not
come to a surprise to you anymore, but may have been surprising a couple of years ago, is that when war happens, energy prices increase significantly.
There is more demand for energy, oil gets harder and more expensive to reach, and all this equipment that is used in war requires, well, a lot of energy.
And as a result, the companies in the energy sector don't struggle too much during a war cycle.
You could argue that this happens in war manufacturing companies, but that's not really a strong component of why shares do well.
Some of them do and some of them don't.
It's mainly the energy sector that upholds the market more significantly.
