What will you be watching in the week ahead? How do you feel about the possibility of conflict in the Middle East, and how do you think it will affect the markets?
As always a great summary! i'm curious to see the results.
Thanks so much for the comment, what are you expecting this week?
Personally, I'm most curious about American express, Bank of America and NTFLX.
@alfredgray And how do you see it in Israel?
@wise_investor gold/oil will continue to rise, stocks will at least have some minor correction now, but it will depend on the escalation of the conflict, in a nutshell my opinion on this situation. How about you?
@alfredgray As you say, commodities like gold/oil are sure to rise. I think investors are more interested in the Fed than a potential conflict, so we'll see how the whole situation plays out.
@wise_investor I'm sure it does, but from my point of view a possible escalation would affect everyone, so I'm giving it a much higher weight at the moment.
Great, thanks for the summary. I will definitely be most interested in the results of the companies.
Thanks for the comment!
