looks more likely by the day.

i am thinking of the following. correct me if you disagree...or add your thoughts
  1. buy gold
  2. buy oil
  3. buy lockeed martin, haliburton, geral dynamics stocks
  4. short USD
  5. short US Treasury
 
1. single malt scotch whisky
2. take-out sushi
 
Never knew enough bout finances and not that much money saved to probably matter for me!
 
Why short usd/treasuries? I would think that a war with Iran would be good for the economy and a stronger dollar. Gold would surely see a pop. Oil could see mixed results. A war in the region would disrupt production/export and increase demand. But in the medium term (prolly short term since a war would be super quick) it would serve to weaken OPEC and thus reduce oil prices.
 
invest in the yuan

I heard there is a shortage of scotch. What is the reason?

High demand in Asia. I guess it's a nouveau riche social status thing? Producers of single malt scotches are limited by their water supply, they can only produce so much.

Also, there's no way to suddenly produce more of a thing that needs to be aged 10-12 years. Companies like Jim Beam are doing things like removing age statements on some of their products (Black label that's exported isn't guaranteed to be aged for 8 years anymore.)

Whiskey demand in general is going way up. I like to think that I had something to do with that.
