Studies show that the pandemic has strong impact on stock markets and cryptocurrency markets and also increases uncertainty. Cryptocurrency known as virtual money is one of the most important developments of digitalization. Cryptocurrencies discussed during the past few years and, in particular, a new investor portfolio, are highly popular. Cryptocurrency markets began to pickup with the arrival of bitcoin. These markets have started to be demand like stock markets. The purpose of this study is to establish the elements influencing individual financial investment decisions both on the cryptocurrency market and in the stock markets, with the performance of cryptocurrencies growing positively in conjunction with the pandemic in 2020. Methodology- While making financial decisions, individuals want to know how the market is carried over and they act accordingly. For this reason, both stock and crypto money markets have been examined in order to see the behaviour of individuals. The objective of this research is to establish the elements that influence individual financial investment decisions on both cryptocurrency and equity markets, since cryptocurrencies have a positive increase in performance parallel to the globally lower pandemic interest rates in 2020.In the study, it was collected with the data by survey technique. The survey examined investor behaviour in financial markets based on individual investor demographics on 428 individual investors. Findings- The study, which was collected with the participation of 428 individual investors with the survey technique, shows that the majority of crypto money users are between the ages of 25-34 according to gender, age and education level and are university graduates. When the data of the survey applied to determine the investment tendencies of individual investors are evaluated, it has been observed that the investors are mostly willing to invest in foreign exchange and cryptocurrencies arouse considerable curiosity due to their high return performance. However, participants believed that cryptocurrency market is riskier than stock markets. In our article, the level of perception about how cryptocurrencies are an investment tool is also not clear, and it has been revealed that investors primarily obtain information about this market through social media channels. Conclusion- In the financial sector, where competition is intense, financial decisions taken by investors are of great importance. Increased pandemic risk factor has led to ambiguities in investment decision-making. Global uncertainty continues despite the development of the vaccine. Corruption in cryptocurrency exchange, often mentioned in recent days, led individuals to research and to learn more about themselves in this area, who are investing in this industry or planing to do so. Our survey on investor behaviour in financial markets, which was carried out with the participation of 428 people over the social platform, was also prepared to be more on crypto money. According to the survey, developments regarding cryptocurrencies showed that the State had to regulate. The recent news about corruption reveals that cryptocurrency markets will continue to be precepted negatively for some time, but it shows that incidents are rapidly forgotten.

Airline industry is very important for modern society and it has a crucial role for globalization and businesses by connecting regions, promoting global trade and tourism and hence enabling economic and social development. Over the last two decades, the troubled airline companies were often on news delebrating financial difficulties, layouts and distrupted scheduled flights. Many well-known airline companies needed financial rescue and either received government fundings or seeked consolidation or a partnership. COVID-19 also had a crucial impact on the deterioration of the airline industry due to quarantinas and shutdowns for travel and business. Because of these reasons, it is very important to see the rankings of the top 20 airlines in the world and indicate some of the financial performance measures of these companies during the COVID-19 era. Methodology- In this study, first the top 20 airlines of the world was listed by ranking the 111 public airline companies in the world according to their total assets in 2020. The data was gathered from the REUTERS database. From again the REUTERS database, total assets, total equity, total revenue, net income, total short-term liabilities and total long-term liabilities of this 20 airline companies was obtained in terms of USD for the period between years 2018 and 2020. In addition, the number of employees and the number of aircrafts data was gathered to show some operational indicators of these same airline companies for the same term. Then the rankings of this top 20 airline companies was made considering all of these indicators and the change in the place of the rankings of airlines between years 2018 and 2020 was indicated. In this study, it was also showed whether the ranking of the airline companies according to financial performance differed in the COVID-19 era in 2020. Findings- The analysis of this study reveals that although the largest asset size was reported by Delta Airlines in 2020, the highest revenue was generated by American Airlines. On the other hand, the highest number of aircrafts were employed by American Airlines in 2018, 2019 and 2020, whereas the highest number of employees worked for Lufthansa in the same years. Although American Airlines reported to gain the highest amount of total revenues in 2020; Cathay Pacific Airlines was ranked as the number one airline company in the same year if revenue per employee and if revenue per aircraft were considered as the performance criteria. None of these airlines was ranked as one of the top three performers considering net income for the year 2020, which was the COVID-19 era. The change in the rankings of the top 20 airlines according to net income in 2020 clearly showed that in the COVID-19 era, the financial performance of the airline companies was hit hard by the economic shutdowns. Conclusion- Based upon the findings of the analysis, it may be concluded that different financial indicators must be considered together instead of solely considering total assets, total revenues or net income to analyze financial performance of the airline companies. As it was also stated by the related literature, both operational and financial indicators are important in the performance measurement of airline companies. The financial performance of the airline companies influences short and long term company decisions as well as it shapes strategic planning. Hence, a comprehensive financial performance measurement must be employed in strategic planning of airline companies.
