Some Insurance companies may take a hit. Comapnies that help with rebuilding and service the damage left by the hurricanes will benefit. Industries like Banks, Finance, Building Supplies, Construction, Real Estate Development, Cement, Steel, Insurance Brokers (new policies), Title Companies, and others. Below are a few Florida based stocks that may benefit. [url=http://www.earnings-splits-ipo.com/stock_investing/earnings/quick_check.php/BRO]BRO - BROWN AND BROWN INC.

The tourism sector will take a big hit because they rely on that a lot and this is labor day weekend where a lot of families spend there last weekend of the summer in the sun! I'm sure that thousands and thousands of families had to cancel their trip there and stay home :|

How will the storm affect areas of the stock market not related to construction/insurance/tourism? Will the market as [u:8a9f56d3b0]a whole[/u:8a9f56d3b0] go down because of the storm, or only certain areas like construction/insurance/tourism?

Well I think the market is going to take a dip, but its not going to be from storms.
