This December marks the time that many believe there will be a major catastrophic event. An event so significant that it will wipe us all out. I am an open-minded skeptic and will wait to see what - if anything - will happen. But just because it might be the end of the world doesn't mean I get to take a holiday from trading.
If nothing at all happens we can fully expect there to be a lot of media coverage, internet chatter, scare mongering and potential rioting.
So I invite you to discuss with me what effect this may have on the markets. Are there likely to be potential spikes as the more superstitious/religious/paranoid traders close out position temporarily in case of market-crashing natural disasters or wide scale rioting? Some believe that the end of 2012 will bring a large scale economic crash rather than a physical one. Will those people be moving moving funds into gold?
Or perhaps the markets will carry on unaffected.
What are your thoughts?
