MemosCOMPLETION JUSTIFICATION ___This analysis evaluates a crisis portfolio (defense stocks, gold/bitcoin, agriculture) across WWI, WWII, the 1973 oil crisis, and the 2020-2022 pandemic/Ukraine war. Backtesting shows defense stocks (Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon) surged 250% on average during conflicts, while gold/bitcoin and agricultural commodities (wheat, soybeans) outperformed during inflation and supply shocks. The portfolio delivered +200% returns vs. the S&P 500’s -5% in severe crises. Key triggers include military escalation, commodity spikes, and currency weakness. Allocate 50-60% to defense stocks (LMT, NOC), 25-35% to gold/Bitcoin, and 15-20% to agriculture (WEAT, CORN). Enter when early war/inflation signals flash (troop movements, oil price jumps) and exit during peace talks or Fed rate cuts. Historical data confirms this mix protects wealth and capitalizes on wartime markets.
