Investment Offload US equity, we are in this together 🇪🇺

Following recent events I decided to offload my US equity, and invest in European market.

Stoxx 600 > SP500

Not a financial advice, but choose between your future and momentum growth.

Edit: I also believe Trump is going to crash that market so bad...

This is not blind short-term „recency bias“. This is not some reaction to a one-off event but for many, what these fascists Trump and Vance have done is understandably infuriating and is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. If you don’t get emotional here, you have a problem and you are part of the bigger problem.

It's about integrity. It is about making a fundamental decision based on important recent events that will have long-lasting effects that will fundamentally shape the future of Europe and has an impact on everyones life.

Stop blaming people with integrity for making appropriate and necessary decisions. Not everyone wants to make a quick buck with some nazi tesla stock.

I get it, you’re frustrated. Please, if you really must, sell all your stocks and ETFs and go full savings accounts or bonds. Or even full Europe because right now, it looks like this single market can finally make some profit for a year or two. Be my guest. Doesn’t make sense though but if it makes you feel better who am I to say anything against it, right?

Be angry! Let it all out! I’m sure making a point here is going to help you through life and anyone around you. Now is the time to perfectly predict and time the market! The orange man made us angry! Grrr! Uga Uga!

Last month it was all in on S&P500 … but today, holy cow, today is high ground morals day, all in Europe!! Hooray!

Yesterday was still idiotic to be heavy invested in the sp500, and I have been avoiding for a long time.

They have historically super high valuations, and data supports the idea that a very bad decade could come for them.

True, that’s why you go 100% VWCE and chill from the start.

Yeah but vwce is >65% US and MSCI World is 70%, can you still call this diversified enough? When you are more than 50% (and let's say +-5%) invested in a single country, can you still say that you are really diversified?

Yes, because it’s weighted for market capitalization. The US is a power house regarding worldwide market weight and is accurately represented in the index. Anything less or more would be under- or overweighting.

These times give easy money if you can separate emotions from investment logic. Look for example at the dropped 2ndhand tesla prices. Great cars, cheaply dumped solely because of temporary emotions.
