My brother is a stock market analyst and has gotten quite adept in his field.
I find it fascinating to listen to him describe the rise and fall of certain stocks, as well as the cause and effect of stock activity. The supply and demand of market forces has a life of its own, and many people have gained or lost everything through stock investments. Recently, my brother told me that one of the major HVAC companies’ stock was doing particularly well as a result of advancements in portable air conditioners. The HVAC world is completely outside of my realm of experience, but the profitability of the stock got my attention. Looking into what portable air conditioners are best suited for, I got quite an education. They are perfect for rooms with irregular or non-standard window openings. At times, a portable a/c unit is a life-saver for special events in large rooms with poor ventilation and/or a/c. And large homes require significant energy use to cool every room, many of which aren’t used. Portable air conditioners can address that problem, cooling only the desired rooms and area. For vacationers, RVs and boat cabins can get unbearably hot and uncomfortable for sleeping in the summer. In these, as well as in cabins and cottages, portable air conditioners offer the perfect cooling source. And for hobbyists and craftsmen, using the portable a/c units in sheds and workshops makes perfect sense on warmer days. Not only did I learn a lot about the benefits of portable air conditioners, I am seriously thinking about investing in the stock of the company that makes them.
