Instead of writing nonsense, I advise you to read expert forecasts regarding inflation, oil and gas prices, and the impact of all this turmoil on the finances of the region's countries—and thus on the investment portfolios of institutional and private investors. Then there's the issue of stock market liquidity, risk assessment for individual sectors, and the impact on the average consumer's financial portfolio. I understand that some people don't grasp the topic, but perhaps it's better to remain silent than to display their stupidity and ignorance. Also, consider the oil crisis of the 1970s, because a prolonged armed conflict in this region will inevitably bring at least some similar repercussions. In this case, stupidity and greed will truly hurt.
Opportunities are written about by fools or people who play against the market and do the exact opposite in their financial portfolios - selling their shares or betting short. My portfolio contains only ITV shares and a small amount of cash. I didn't sell ITV (having been aware of the inevitability of conflict with Iran for several weeks now) because it's a long-term investment, generating steady dividend income. This dividend will be announced in the coming days, financial results on Thursday, March 5th, and in the background, negotiations with Comcast about the acquisition of part of the company. And that's what decided against the sale. As for Wizzair, anyone writing about a predicted bottom in the share price is a liar or an idiot. Because it makes no sense and is unpredictable. An oil price increase above $100 per barrel, prolonged military operations lasting more than two weeks, or a single terrorist attack on a plane in Europe (which analysts are beginning to warn against) would be a tragedy for the entire passenger air transport sector. A 60-80% drop in carrier prices compared to prices in early February 2026 (when the specter of a strike on Iran was only just beginning to emerge as American forces moved to the Iranian region) is a possible, and not entirely theoretical, scope for the share price decline.
