How do recent events influence investment decisions and portfolio investments?
I need an example of how recent events affect portfolio investments or personal investment of any kind for a class presentation and due to their popularity i can't talk about the recent happenings in japan, egypt, libya or even the recent financial crisis of 2008. Any ideas?

well basically, if the world is looking unstable, then stockholders are more likely to sell shares, because of the uncertainty that comes about. as more people sell shares, the market value go's down and the company loses money. if this go's on for a long period of time, its called a bear market. if prolonged, this also lead to downsizing, which brings unemployment, lower productivity and an overall lower standard of living.
