Investors bet on Katrina

Kathleen Pender writes in SFGate.com:

Investors reacted to Hurricane Katrina in typical post-disaster fashion: Buy first, ask questions later.

Last week, investors piled into sectors that could benefit from the tragedy, including oil refining and marketing, oil field services, manufactured housing, construction/engineering services and building products.

I say sectors, because it seemed that investors were buying industries, not companies.
