Guys I own a BYD and love it, but oil prices have risen in the past, like, two days. Perhaps the headline is a bit sensationalized?

- crooked-v 8mo agoFor what it's worth, I feel like it's perfectly logical to make any current new car purchase choices taking into account the US history of Middle East forever wars and that the Strait of Hormuz will probably be a deathtrap for years at this point.
- stavros 8mo agoOh definitely agree, and that's part of why I wanted to by an EV, but there simply hasn't been enough time since the Iran invasion to see it affect sales numbers.
- foxglacier 8mo agoSounds like a belief that you can easily profit from in the markets. Are you putting your money where your mouth is or do you just want to believe that so you can feel smug about your beliefs, independent of reality?
- crooked-v 8mo agoMy investments already had a focus towards green energy instead of fossil fuels well before the US war on Iran. Why would I need to "feel smug" about somebody's choice of car purchase?
- foxglacier 8mo agoI mean you can incorporate your prediction of the years-long Hormuz death-trap (= closure?) into your investments today. If you're correct, you'll end up better off than continuing with your existing strategy.
