  2. Hurricane Sandy effects the stock market by closing it down due to floods, caused by to much rain, and anything caused by danger. Our stock market gets closed for days, sometimes weeks until saftey is assured. The economy is, in a way, shut down because of large, dangerous events such as Hurricane Sandy. E.D.

  4. Hurricane Sandy effected the econmey because because of that the subways have closed so that means many people can't go to work, the water knocked down many homes so people don't have a place to stay, and the electrity was shut off so people can't take showers, or cook, have light in their home,and they have heat. This makes it hard for many people to live aned to repair this would cost a massive amount of money. This storm has changed the economey alot.

  5. Hurricane Sandy affected the economy because of the subways having to be closed, so that would means alot of people couldnt go to work. So if they couldnt go to work they couldnt get money to buy the stocks. It also affected the economy by the water knocked down the houses, then people couldnt have a place to live. The envirment can affect the economy by people littering. Litter can cause animals to die or even become extinct.

  12. It can cause the stock market to close down, like Hurricane Sandy did to the stock market,or it can cause the power to blow out. It could be like this for many weeks, causing some stocks to go down in value, like Microsoft or Google. New York got a flood that put it in damaged positions that are still in effect! Many people lost their cars and even their homes.

  13. The enviroment can effect the economy in many ways. It can cause the stock market to shut down. That is what Hurricane Sandy did. Wall street also closed. A common thing is for the power to turn off. Sometimes for weeks or months. Irragation will follow the power outage. That is why people buy lots of water before a storm. Even after the storm there could be weather changes. In New York and New Jersey it snowed and had a BIG flood as a cause of the coast line. In the storm of Hurricane Sandy. It also kills the animals in the area. Along with houses on the coast. Families were forced to temperarily move out of their houses into a homeless shelter.

  14. The enviroment can do many things to the economy. It can cause pollution and let peopple litter. Littering can cause many animals to die. Pollution can cause animals to die to. Littering can also harm the enviroment. Houses Hurricane Sandy can break down houses and people can loose lots of money. When you loose money you can not buy a stock

  15. The environment affects the economy because if the weather is bad and people's homes have gotten destroyed, then they probably wouldn't be spending money on a bunch of stocks. Hurricane Sandy is affecting our stock market because it was such a bad storm, so people are focusing more on their needs. So, our economy has gone down a little bit in the process.

  20. Hurricane Sandy's sudden attack on our nation has had a huge impact on our economy. People aren't able to travel because of damage and floods. Therefore, they can't buy things, so stores make less money. It also shut down the stock market, so no stocks can be be traded. Subways are flooded, so people can't travel that way. Streets have been flooded, rendering cars useless. Riding bikes, walking, and other forms of transportation are extremely dangerous in a hurricane, so people can go nowhere, and can do nothing.

  21. Hurricane Sandy is affecting the economy (stock market) by making certain people without power to communicate with the stock market in any electronical form, many of the blocked roads also makes it difficult to get to any other spot other than the spot they are, until they recieve power. Also it has put the focus of everyone on Sandy and the damage that has come amoung them, there are programs on the news about it and people are like "Oh, there is something about Sandy on and I want to see the damage because it seems awful." Making it hard to be talking to a stock broker or buying a stock at the same time. Overall, Sandy has put people in a tough spot in terms of communicating with brokers, buying stocks, keeping track of the stocket market world. The enviroment affects the economy by putting the attention of everyone on how bad things have been in cases of trash and natural disasters. It also can detain someone from communicating with anyone in need to know important business about the economy/stocket market world. You will also not be able to buy a stock without power or without a way to do so. Another detainer is you will not be able to keep track of everything you want to buy or are planning to purchase. Altogether the enviroment stops people from getting to the stock market world and being more cautious of where you are when and if you will be able to communticate with who or what you would like.

  23. The enviroment effects the stock market by people not being able to go to Wall St. and buy,sell, or make stocks at the New York Stock Exchange. Sandy made a BIG change in the economy because it closed for 2 days for the first time since 1883. so, it made a BIG difference and the storm will be remembered. also it washed out an election campain of Ombma and Rommey

  24. The environment can effect the economy by shutting it down. If you shut down the stock market there is no money flowing through the it. If there is know money flowing through the stock market bussiness will lose money. Hurricane Sandy closed the stock market for two days, and companeys kept losing money. It also cost a lot of money to reopen the stock market.

  25. The eviroment will effect the economy because if the economy is bad like if their is a flood or all the power is out then people can not go and buy/sell goods. Hurricane Sandy effects the economy because it effects the enviroment because in some places all the power is gone or their if fire or floods so the roads are blocked so they can not sell/buy things from the stock market and it would go down like an inflated ballon. All though Sandy is effecting the economy a lot the election has and still is effecting the economy.Nothing good can happen when the economy is bad. When the economy is bad the stock market is bad and people can not earn money to pay for food or shelter or anything they need to survive and we want our population to go up or stay the same,but not go down.

  26. The environment can effect the econemy by people buying more things to be prepared for the things to come and there will be homeless people because there are so many torn apart houses from all of the hurricanes, tornadoes and other strong types of weather. Hurricane Sandy can effect the econemy (stock market) byshutting the stock market down or if the power goes out people won't be able to use their computers to communicate.

  27. The inviornment has a huge impact on the stock market and the economy. If the weather is bad or the a natral desaster with a detrimental effect then there will be no one on the streets buying or at home on the web. The enviornment has a large part in the economy. So far over the past few weeks Hurricane Sandy has made a very large impact on the stock market and the New York Stock Exchange because the hurricane has created bad weather in New York were the "NYSE" is. Also the subway in NY is there main transportation and it is backed up right now. In addition the homes are becoming flooded in NY. It has been a while since the stock market has been closed for so long, which was very shocking. Now the weather is very off track, because of hurricane sandy. In Georgia yesterday it was raining then there was hail. In NY yesterday there was snow too The weather is going crazy and there is berely a way to keep track of it. The same effects of the hurricane are occuring in New Jersy also. The hurricane hopefully will pass and the stock merket will start back up again. Over all Earth's natrul effects have a big impact on the stock market and the economy. This was one of the only stock marcket crashes of for a very long time.
