This is the key group of stocks to watch if the port strike drags on this month

A look back in history shows how a key group of transportation stocks performed the last time there was a major port strike, according to Wolfe Research. On Tuesday, 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen's Association , the largest longshoremen's union in North America, went on strike at 14 major ports along the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Seaboard, affecting billions of dollars in trade as well as roughly half of all U.S. trade activity.
