Foreign conflict will generally lead to some form of inflation. However, what is known as the War Paradox says that war is generally good for the US stock market.

But it comes back to basics. Have enough cash to cover emergencies. The cash you won't need in the next 24 months; get it invested. It is your only chance at keeping up with inflation.

This year has SUCKED for the stock market, but we have had many years of massive returns, and this year stocks are on sale for the long-term investor.
