Investors are increasingly souring on the United States, as illustrated by the declining dollar, the stalled stock market and rising government borrowing costs.
I feel like this was an obvious move back during the first bond scare Trump caused back in early 2025. It’s been clear that people need to protect themselves against Trumps economic policies given how he handled things during his first term.
Finally my move to ex-USA ETFs is paying off.
This dumbass didn’t hold onto the European defense ETFs though.
I’d only invest in total world ETFs, but specifically investing in foreign ones (so a “manual” split) in non tax advantaged accounts gives a minor tax credit.
Must be from the “so much winning” we’ve been doing lately.
The stock market is at all time highs, what stalled stock market?
Oh you mean how the whole stock market is propped up by the earnings of 7 companies who are all at earnings highs largely due to suddenly having revenue from Tariffs that forced Americans to pay up to 100% more for the enshitified products these companies barely provide?
Complete mystery as to why nearly every company on the S&P 500 is red except those 7 holding the clown show up. As soon as the bullshit Tariff tax liquidity that was robbed from Americans runs out, that all time high in the start market is going to crater into an all time low. Only thing great in front of America is a depression greater than the last one.
you should really view the US stock market through the lens of a casino, there are many very peculiar rule differences between the US and other world’s markets that when viewed objectively can only be for one purpose…blatant price manipulation to make things “exciting”, which helps “increase volatility/liquidity”.
this cycle of predatory boom/bust “investing” has been the mainstain of Wallstreet for hundreds of years now, literally the foundation upon which it was built.
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a really good primer on this, a tongue in cheek guidebook on how trading works. like a century old Wolf of Wallstreet
“Sell America” is what they’ve been doing for the last 50 years or so
