Why Future Terrorist Attacks Don't Have to Affect Your Financial Security

Baltimore, MD July 12 /PRNewswire- Alexander Green, Investment Director for the Oxford Club, says, "You have a better chance of getting hit by the Goodyear Blimp than hurt by a terrorist." But the odds that their acts won't affect your investment portfolio are not nearly so good.

Last week, the market showed surprising resilience after getting sacked at the opening. But that was just one day after the London attacks. Who can say how future terrorist attacks will affect your financial security?

For this reason, especially if any future strikes are bigger and closer to home, Alexander Green created what he dubs the Anti-Terror Portfolio. A Wall Street veteran with over 16 years experience as an analyst, advisor, and portfolio manager, Mr. Green has been featured on "The O'Reilly Factor," profiled by Forbes and Marketwatch.com, and has written for Louis Rukeyser. He also writes about the Anti-Terror Portfolio for The Communiqué, a publication of the Oxford Club. The goal of the Anti-Terror Portfolio, Green says, "is of course not to profit from terror, but to protect ourselves from it."

Green's premise is straightforward. Even if the U.S. is attacked - and our economy falters - life will go on. Our basic needs must still be met, chief among these being food, clothing and shelter. Ultimately our financial welfare must be preserved so we can satisfy these basic needs.

For these reasons, Green recommends the Anti-Terror Portfolio to his 70,000 readers. This portfolio features companies in different sectors in order to diversify and protect investments. These sectors include companies in consumer goods, utilities, commodities, international real estate, and a leading defense contractor that specializes in state-of-the art military equipment.

One caveat, however, is that in the event of a major terrorist attack in the U.S., high-grade corporations and Treasuries may be the only things that appreciate in the immediate aftermath, as investors rush to safety. But Green urges investors to be realistic. "Unless you're already financially independent, you're not likely to meet your long-term investment goals hunkering down in investments that yield 4 or 5%."

Alexander Green's recommendation that all investors have their own "Anti-Terror Portfolio" strikes a reasonable balance: a sizable dollop of safety combined with plenty of income and growth potential.
