Anybody have any investment ideas related to the fires going on in California? Like I was thinking construction companies will benefit and insurance companies will get hit. I have been looking around and I can't find a company that specializes in California.

I think a lot of that insurance is through the state.

Sell your stock in California taxpayers.

Charter, CHTR took a big hit due to the San Diego fires.

CHTR is the nation's third-largest cable television provider.

4 years ago you could have made a killing buying lots about 4 months after the fire. I almost bought one for 250k that would have been worth 700k before the fire or 2 years afterwards. Will likely be similar opportunities this time.

buy stocks that have taken a hit because of the fire. overreaction seems to be the rule in these things.

maybe look around for companies that are smaller and will do well that others dont realize yet. for instance maybe a waste disposal company. there will be alot of clean up.

plywood and 2x4's. we never learn and will rebuild with fire friendly wood over steel and concrete.
