Hi Dien,

As for my business (broker of used auto parts) when the economy is slow people tend to hold on to their cars, trucks, vans, and SUV's longer, thus the demand for used parts increases.

As for possible war in Iraq..... I believe there could be a sell - off of some stocks at warp speed.

However, on the other hand.....I believe there could be a buying frenzy of some biochemical, defense contractor, transportation, air lines, and home security stocks.

Also, bond sales may increase.

Just my 2 cents.....
