Stock investing is often affected by global events such as political turmoil, economic instability, natural disasters, and pandemics. These events can cause market volatility and impact stock prices. For instance, the global financial crisis of 2008 resulted in a sharp reduction in stock prices and a general unfavorable market environment. In a similar vein, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to a global market collapse and recession. Global events, however, might also provide investing opportunities. For instance, after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, demand for renewable energy increased rapidly. Investors need to be knowledgeable, patient, and have a long-term investment strategy to manage these occurrences.
