the german DAX definitely shows weakness in the light of the Ukraine conflict, 29 of the 30 stocks of the DAX are down today.
Its confirmed that Putin sent 8 Light "Tanks" to Crimea so it looks like they are attacking now.
Now it depends how the NATO will respond to that, the market clearly shows fear.
they have troops inside the country already, so this can is already considered as an attack.Are you serious? Just because they have troops on the boarder does not mean they are going to attack the country.
BoA maintains $65 price target. Doug Kass doesn't realize that firm is a joke when it comes to TSLA.

Their fleet is stationed there. If you consider it an attack, then we already have WW3.
I am not saying it an develop to something but nothing has happened yet.
Please do some research before you make statements like that.
Hopefully things will be peaceful but we would be foolish to assume there will be a peaceful resolution and not consider the less desirable outcomes. How do you think this will impact the global markets and how do you think other countries will react?
In the unlikely event that open warfare breaks out, I think there will be a surge of interest in renewable energy companies.
Fewer countries will want to be tied to Russian oil and gas supplies if Russia behaves recklessly. Russia can also affect the price of these commodities worldwide, giving more reason for countries to develop water, wind, and solar energy in order to escape market swings.
The ex-SU countries are putting up a consistent front to try to make the world see that this cannot go unanswered. Lithuania is claimed to have asked for Article 4 under NATO treaty and others have also not only condemned the actions, but also requested actual action to prevent this from escalating. If one remembers the start of WW2, then the initial rhetoric was similar with demands to de-escalate and pull back, with guesses that Hitler would only help border area germans and not go further and that it's not worth escalating into a full armed conflict until it was way too late and the whole continent and later the world were pulled in.
I just hope that the heads of states still remember that you cannot just stand by and send official notes and protests and see a portion of a country annexed and expect that the power hungry superpower will remain calmed by that. From what I've heard there are unconfirmed reports of Polish mobilizing their army and the Baltic states have called for emergency defense meetings. Ukraine is considering closing the border to Russia and has already closed their airspace. If Russia makes real threats against for example the Baltic states, then I seriously hope that NATO does better than the statement that they put out a couple of hours ago. The crap about Ukraine is that it's not a member of EU or NATO and therefore far weaker in position to resist the Russian Bear. Annexation of Crimea is not a small thing and I do hope for a strong reaction from US or others. Last time when Russia harrassed and invaded Georgia it was finally the arrival of US humanitarian aid (that was escorted with a major fleet and air force) that made Russia pull back. I doubt however if Obama is up to the task to play high stakes poker :/
@Flux & Mario
Is it really that bad?
Isn’t the majority of the people within Crimea of Russian ethnicity? And has Putin gone further than Crimea at this time? As long as the Ukraine doesn’t start to fire at the Russians, shouldn’t this eventually be possible to resolve by democratic means?
