Selling the Fear as Iran Escalates & Building Cash for My Next Move

As the conflict in Iran rekindles, I used the spike in oil and the “flight to safety” trade to sell some of my non-core positions.  Based on how these stocks traded during the initial months of the war (March-April 2026), I think this is about as good an exit opportunity as any.

  • SOLD-
    • Oil Services: BKR, HAL & SLB
    • Chemicals: CE, DOW, EMN, OLN & PPG
    • Consumer: BBY & TGT

I’m not concerned about a stock market correction because of the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.  I’m prudently building cash reserves, which I intend to reinvest in the Industrial Tech sector, as opportunities arise.

I briefly discuss this topic on the most recent episode of the Wealthsteading Podcast Ep527.
