War can create fear, volatility, and uncertainty, all of which can weigh heavily on the markets, but history tells a more complete story. In this episode of BullCast, we examine how the stock market has responded to major global conflicts, from World War II to more recent events. Using historical data and real market performance, we break down what tends to happen in the short term and what long-term investors have experienced in the years that follow.
