A friend of mine travels a lot. She and her sister just were in Ireland for 10 days. She goes to London at least 2x a year in addition, and all over Europe, and Aus.

I should just concentrate on short selling, I seem to do much better here than trying to pick stocks to the long side.
Any kind of oil disruption due to middle east situation getting worse, and every one of these stocks will decline.

It’s seems like the propensity of your most adamant calls are negative and that’s been the case for years. Is your outlook generally negative all the time? Maybe that’s what has held your performance back for decades given that generally the market moves up more than it does down

Not so much negative, but perhaps too conservative. I wasn't negative between 2016 and 2020 (pre covid).
Things changed when covid hit and haven't gotten back to normal since, IMO

Since 2020 I'm still up. Obviously 2022 was down, but considering 2020, 2021 and so far 2023 are up then overall I'm up during that time frame. 95% in indexes and about 13 individual stocks so that's good enough for me

So you were negative about the stock market when it had 2 years back to back of astronomical gains. Do you think that has had an adverse affect on how you evaluate stock market returns?

I keep hearing about oil spikes tanking these stocks, but I'm not sure that will play out.

Airfares are already way outpacing inflation and jet fuel has gone up nearly 150% in a year, and the major problem airlines are facing as a result? They don't have enough pilots and crew to fly enough planes to meet demand.

Tickets cost more than ever, so the consumer has decided -- rather logically -- to fly more than ever:

Quote:
More than 240 million people in the US flew somewhere between June and Labor Day, according to the Transportation Security Administration — about 7 million more than in summer 2019.
It's going to take more than a conflict in Israel decades in the making and the specter of oil prices to shatter confidence in flying.

US State Dept. has issued a new advisory for all Americans located internationally(permanent or travelling) to use “increased caution”.

Maybe a good day to buy some airline stocks They have the flu.

Inter-day swings on all kinds of stocks could keep you quite busy.
