Markets gonna crash. What to buy?
Anything not affected by a war in Europe is a buy, and anything that doesn't have supply chain issues is a buy. I am thinking Google, Airbnb, Disney are good. Nvidia is in firesale range, love them but fear supply chain issues and Intel is coming out with their gpu soon. Also NVIDIA and AMD both rely on Taiwan semiconductor for manufacturing if your worried about China joining the war then might want to stay away, china won't join the war tho and if they do then you should just buy food and guns instead.

A lot has happened in the past 24 hours: Late yesterday, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with airstrikes reported in Ukraine’s capital and dozens of other cities. Western leaders have condemned the attack and vowed to respond decisively.
With all of the conflict’s uncertainty, we’re breaking down what’s happening and how it might affect you as an investor.
Why is the conflict impacting markets?
Stocks have been falling all year as investors worry about the impact of high inflation and upcoming interest rate hikes. This conflict is weighing on what’s already hurting markets:
How are markets reacting?
- Uncertainty: While some uncertainty is always a given, high geopolitical turmoil can be bad for stock markets. Some investors have been retreating to "safe-haven assets" like US government bonds, gold, and even "defensive stocks,” which tend to be less affected by volatility (think: healthcare and utilities).
- Inflation: Global sanctions on Russia could cause prices of oil, food, and other commodities to soar even more. Russia supplies more than a third of the EU’s natural gas and is the world’s largest wheat exporter.
- FYI: The vast majority of Western companies don't have operations in Russia or Ukraine. But large multinationals that do — from oil giants to carmakers — are bracing for further sanctions that could disrupt their supply chains and operations.
As the crisis intensifies, stocks have dropped while investors have moved out of more volatile assets and into “safe haven” investments:
How could this play out long term?
- Stocks fell globally Thursday morningbut some markets have been more affected than others. Germany’s market is down more than the US’s, since Germany has more economic ties with Russia (Russia supplies a third of Germany’s oil). Russian stocks are also slumping.
- US Treasury bonds are spiking. As demand for US government debt rises, interest rates on those “safe haven” bonds are dropping. While the US dollar is appreciating, the Russian ruble is losing value.
- Commodities like oil, gold, and wheat are soaring. Crude oil is at a seven-year high as the world worries about reduced supply from Russia, while gold prices are rising as investors seek more stability.
No one can predict the future, but historically the US market, as represented by the S&P 500 index, has bounced back from these types of conflicts over time. Since 1941, the total fall in the stock market after major geopolitical events was 5% on average — before it eventually recovered after a few months*. Of course, what happened in the past isn’t a guarantee of what could happen in the future.
What could be the takeaway for investors like me?
A couple important things to keep in mind:
While we can provide support as an informational markets resource, the markets are just one aspect of a crisis that has significant implications for human life and global stability.
- Diversification: Spreading a portfolioacross different industries and investment types (think: stocks, bond, cash, real estate) can help hedge risk when certain assets decline. However, it’s important to remember that diversification isn’t guaranteed to prevent loss, especially when markets decline as a whole.
- Time: Long-terminvestors have more time to potentially recover from market downturns and global conflicts. While certain individual stocks might not recover, the US stock market has historically been resilient over time.

Thinking about throwing some money into a Russian ETF.![]()
Got back into $CEI
They will rebound but not anytime soon.So I bought into 2 EFTs, RSX and ERUS.
Its very volatile and not for everyone, we'll se what happens if they dissove the ETFs or what not. They've fallen 75% in the last week, and hoping that if this gets resolved, they'll rebound.
