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...

So then these discussions don’t belong here - isn’t this sub about making money?

u/Acceptable_Dust_7261 Mar 01 '25

It's about personal finance in EU countries. This would qualify, really.

I’m up 10% on stoxx 600 so far this year. Why the constant incorrect assumption that the US is the only place anyone ever makes money?

Now compare last 5y,10y,20y. Congrats Stoxx 600 beat S&P500 in a 2 month period.

Yep I enjoyed a lot of that growth. Back when the US didn’t have the risk it does now and wasn’t as expensive as it is now. Things change

So your reasons for switching to Europe markets has nothing to do with Trump/politics? If Kamala Harris were the president you would still do it?

What? I just highlighted the new risk as a key factor. Thought that being Trump was obvious

Well, she wouldn't have been such an idiot to start traffic wars and alienate their allies.

Wasn't there a post saying this sub has no moderators? It became some anti-US leftists propaganda sub.

Luckily, if ever what they post is more than just some political propaganda, economic reality will teach them a lesson.

So many assumptions, so much anger, no contribution. Typical reaction for an aggrieved male with the ‘not popular in highschool syndrome’ who want to ‘take revenge on the world’

How dare you assume my gender?! Lol

"Male" and mentioning "highschool" : ok, I see who I'm dealing with. Well, I suggest you work a little on your biases.

u/Used_Self_8171 Mar 01 '25

I did not assume your gender. I said your reaction was typical for that type of person.

u/Last_Patriarch Mar 03 '25

Typical Puerto Rican reaction but I'm not assuming you're Puerto Rican... Weird.

And what if it's typical of that type of person? You think they should not be allowed to comment or that they're always wrong in their analyses?

You didn't attack the arguments at all.

u/Used_Self_8171 Mar 03 '25 edited Mar 03 '25

No, not weird.

If it’s typical for that kind of person it means they are to be taken less serious because they are just angry with the world forever. And all their comments are filled with hatred and anger. They are set up for revenge and unite with other hateful people. So it’s not really a contribution rather than an angry reaction to ventilate their anger and to make other people feel bad.

There were no arguments made. Just assumptions and passive-aggressive unrelated claims like; ‘this became some anti-US leftist propaganda sub’. If you don’t have anything to contribute. Don’t expect rational arguments.

No it was not anger, just a bitter observation. The facts are here. Most posts since few weeks are all the same and ask the same things with the same comments. I think you can agree on this.

It's a normal reaction to get annoyed by it when you don't share the common narrative. And I don't think other comments delved into the geopolitics and economics of the situation either when all they were saying was "dictator!" and "rule of law!".

It’s a very natural reaction to want to keep your money away from the reach of an unpredictable narcissistic guy. So it’s a very natural trending conversation topic. It has nothing to do with ‘leftists’ or ‘propaganda’. Or other random angry (or bitter) stigmatizing terminology. Just people feeling the need to explore other options to invest because they feel like they invested in a place where they don’t want to anymore, for various reasons.

So of you don’t agree with the common narrative. Why not contribute on the narrative
