The Kurdistan region of Iraq has become home to the likes of Chevron, Shell, Exxon, and BP over recent years, all vying to help the Middle Eastern country develop its oil fields. These winter months provide a valuable window to play in the sand and get vital maintenance and repair work done on facilities. However, soaring tensions between Iran and the United States have led Chevron to pull workers away for the time being.

However, investment portfolios are rotating into aerospace and defense stocks just in case. 

2. Amazon (#amzn)

It’s a worrying development for over 11,500 service stations involved in current trials, but Nandeth Sheth, head of FinTech giant Finserv, believes it will benefit “millennials expecting a more modern experience, and mothers with kids in the car where temperatures are low.” Crooks frequently target gas stations to steal debit card information with hidden skimming devices, so voice-activated payments could quickly catch on. We’ll see!
