RecommendationFit996

My plan to end the war quickly: 1) The EU and most Asian countries (ex-China and Russia) who are all hurting without jet fuel and oil, form a committee. 2) with much fanfare the committee declares Trump the winner of the “New World” Piece Prize War over. Problem solved

Motorhead546

Idk about North America, but it's clearly a slow growth/dying platform in EU

Sasquatchii

When you say they've lost minimally, I assume you mean outside of their upper leadership all being dead, their decades long spiritual leader being dead, all of their nuclear sites being bombed, their navy having been erased, their air force erased, their ability to sell oil - the backbone of their economy - blockaded. They played their one nuclear card (ha) and it's backfired on them, even today the EU came together to place unprecedented sanctions against the regime and their systems in response. No one is appeasing the regime. The gulf coast states are pushing the US to finish the job. Iran's proxies across the region have never been weaker, nearly unable to mount any resistance at all to Israel.... so much so that a ceasefire in Lebanon was paramount for the Iranian regime lol. China has abandoned them. Russia has abandoned them. They fight publicity wars on twitter while scrambling to make a deal privately. If you look at whats happening, as opposed to consuming propaganda, it's hard to see how things have improved for Iran.

Sasquatchii

lol What??? Straight Iranian propaganda. There's literally nothing more that Trump has to do (even though he could just continue to kill them off systematically) than a complete blockade and oil embargo. Even by conservative estimates, the IRGC folds within 6 months. "Iran closed the strait", yes, they played the one card they had. Unfortunately for them, Trump is literally insane and closed it further, so now instead of Iran making $$ per ship and controlling the strait, they make $0 and have lost control. Even the EU just today decided to band together to expand its sanctions targeting everything Iranian until they allow not just fair but free and permanent passage through the Strait. You're delusional if you think Iran isn't fck'd.

mx5plus2cones

My rationale... International was poised to outperform US domestic, like it did last year.... ...until this minor problem of Strait of Hormez... Unlike the most of North America , Europe is heavily dependent on oil imports specifically from the middle east. They also dont have nearly asuch energy reserves like China , US, Canada does. And, if we actually had to get oil, that is where ousting Venuezla former dictator comes in handy considering Venuezla sits on much larger oil reserve than Saudi Arabia. So although our pain is in terms of higher gas prices, neither Canada or US is endangered of a petrol shortage... Cant say the same thing about most europe, which the exception of Norway, isnt siting on shit. Countries cant make shit if there is a petrol shortage or the cost us too high and it needs to rationed. And at least for now, none of the European countries want to get involved with this thing with Iran despite being more depedent on the the oil flowing through that s straight. Thats why personally i think the narrative has changed. People that ran for the hills to the European markets will slowly run back to the US market....im think the EU economy is headed for a recession sooner than the US, possibly worse.

Sweaty_Platypus69

Like Iran cares? No one in the middle east actually listens to EU lol..

tika_dengu

EU will announce tougher sanctions if Iran doesn’t attend

I disagree, buy a global index fund. You need to hedge the dollar risk. Maybe even buy more European stocks. 50/50 EU/US.

Consistent_Panda5891

I am from Spain, and I don't trade it. Mostly US indexes. However I traded it back on Spain's blackout year ago, bought day after few puts and got a good 5%. But mostly it's upside it is because of banks which obviously outperformed everything in recent years. EU bonds where at 3-3.5%, and banks paying literally 0 for deposits. Who would not want such business...

Historical_Bother274

"European ministers agree to expand Iran sanctions due to shipping restrictions" This is like the siege of Helm's Deep and the EU is the Rohirrim coming to aid America

Across the Straight? Man, study geography. Obviously, they drive across the Arabian desert to Alexandria, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beirut or Tripoli. The more adventurous types continue via Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria to the hungry EU market, to turn some hefty profits. Oh, did I mention the limit of two jerry cans per car?

Warm_Implement3088

Why is EU giving Ukraine like 90b if they only have 6 weeks of jet fuel left. how retarded is that?

brystephor

Unfortunately regions like India have low monetization and revenue opportunities relative to the US and EU regions, so more DAU/MAU isnt as beneficial for revenue (at least for ads)

Illustrious-Owl-2755

I am not familiar with increasing in Europe and the UK, but when I moved from my home country to the US, the accountant recommended me _very warmly_ to liquidate my assets and re-buy them in the US. The reason for that is that the brokerages publish tax reports according to the tax rules of the country where they are situated, so if you keep your holdings aboard, it will be very difficult and expensive to pay taxes in your country of tax residence. Examples (again, not EU/UK): US taxes long- and short-term securities (held for over or under a year) differently. The annual report abroad won't have this break-down, I would have to go over all sales and dividends and do the math manually. Another example: my country doesn't tax reinvested dividends until liquidation, so the underlying indexes for all index funds are total-return. For the US tax report, I would need to pay the tax each year and then, for each reinvested lot, keep track of a second cost basis, and the brokerages won't help me.

I mean nothing you’ve said is wrong as such but it’s inaccurate to say it hasn’t got alot more pronounced. The charging situation only got better here in the EU after they were ordered in court to move to ubc.

My Mag 7 earnings share price predictions: - Apple = Down (Most expensive Mag 7 excluding $TSLA (trades like a meme stock) and $NVDA (growing revenue 50%+ YOY, with the lowest growth opportunities and CEO replacement) - Google = Flat/slightly up (Bloomberg Terminal surveys and reports showing reduced Q1 ad spend / budgeting, Search AI mode showing high user satisfaction, Gemini Ads rolling out nicely) - Meta = Flat (Bloomberg Terminal surveys and reports showing reduced Q1 ad spend / budgeting) - Amazon = Up (Tariff refunds, high exposure to Anthropic growth, AWS acceleration, continued high capital expenditure a risk if sentiment changes) - Microsoft = Flat (Priced well but Azure tied to Open AI which has openly talked badly about growth on Azure vs AWS in an internal memo, EU nations removing Microsoft from government and leaving Azure) - NVDA = Up (Data shows consistent adoption and growth of AI, despite a transition to custom silicone, Nvidia remains the golden standard and continues selling millions of chips to Meta and Oracle) - TSLA = Up (sales slumping but will go up because Tesla lol)

SkepticalInvestor21

Great question - this is actually a really common issue with EU stocks and it's frustrating when you're trying to do proper DD. The main culprits are usually currency conversion timing differences and varying accounting standards (IFRS vs local GAAP). TradingView and other aggregators often pull from different data vendors who may be using different exchange rates or quarterly vs annual reporting periods. Some platforms also adjust for extraordinary items differently. For EU stocks, I always cross-reference with the company's direct investor relations page first, then check a couple different sources. The official earnings releases on company websites are usually your most reliable baseline - sounds like you're already doing that right. You can also try running the ticker through a due diligence tool to see if they flag any data inconsistencies across sources. It won't solve the underlying problem but can help you spot when numbers look off before you base decisions on potentially bad data.

browsk

This EU dude so pissed 😂

Low-Win-6691

👍 yeah my point was that absent some real economic or geopolitical turmoil that causes people to sell stocks to pay for basic needs and pause their 401k contributions (pretty unlikely) the stock market will continue to rise. Yes rising oil prices will hurt companies. The EU may have to suspend recreational air travel even for a while. But the money will most likely keep flowing net into the market

It's all a psyop my guy. He's israel first and all media in the US (and likely in EU) are israel first.

It's a global commodity. If Russian oil gets taken out the Indians and Chinese and whoever else is buying it will compete with the EU and USA to buy oil from other sources. Which drives up the prices for everyone.

Sryzon

I've always thought if the US really cared about Ukraine, they would have stopped Russia when they invaded Crimea. But dragging this conflict on has forced the EU to purchase US energy.

imunfair

I mean they did that repeatedly in the Ukraine war, with Ukraine negotiating a list of demands with the EU in their multiple "peace" conferences and not even bothering to invite Russia, it was hilariously petty. I lost count of how many different #-point plans those goofballs came up with.

TheGodPePe

I think its rather complicated and one has to realize there are many factors that have been really pushing the market in my opinion. 1) S&P500 is cap weighted, meaning only 10 companies are 40% of the total cap in the S&P500. Meaning if these 10 companies surge, it drags the entire S&P500 with it. If you examine, you will notice tech stocks (semiconductors) are surging like crazy and are basically the top 10 companies in the S&P500. Whereas if you have other stocks you might have noticed it is pretty much even or a bit lower than before the war. Notice the current trading volumes are low. Like Wallstreet is just letting the market pump since they are really the ones who control the flow of liquidity. 2) Expanding on the semiconductor play. There are many people who still belive the AI is going to continue to grow in revenue, profit and profit margins. So the understanding is with the "possibility of peace", this reduces the risk profile of these stocks, so the price at the bottom was seen to be at a large discount. 3) I think there has been a steady rise of the "retail investors" and hell to be honest I am one too. But I think the general public lacks the finesse of understanding the complexity of the a) the technology they are investing in b) global markets and how they have huge effects on western economies. I tied these two points together because of the insane complexity of not only the design/manufacturing of semiconductors and the complex supply chain it takes to produce semiconductors. To produce a chip takes months and and requires insane technology like using a liquefied string of tin that is superheated at insane temperatures by a laser to create powerful UV light that is then redirected and concentrated to sketch out complex patterns on a waffer. Any disruption to this manufacturing process can delay production by months. The raw material used as input goods also comes from a global market. I have the feeling people are really under appreciating the disruption in critical input goods such as helium, especially since the argon and xenon production is already disrupted from the Russo Ukraine war. 3.1) Retail investors have been well trained to buy every dip. You noticed with Trump there is a disturbing pattern. Huge market losses followed by huge markets gains that then eventually normalize to steady growth. Examples would be Covid, Liberation day and the current fiasco. In principle this what a TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) is. For Covid it was shutting down the economy and then rapidly passing huge spending on what was essentially a bailout to employers and was ripe for fraud, example PPP loans. Liberation day it was putting insane traiffs on many countries and then two days later backtracking on it. This time it is him starting a war without a clear objective and he is looking for a way out. But this time it is different. This isn't a TACO, this is a TOFU (Trump Obviously Fucked Up). You see in the Covid and Liberation Day scenarios, Trump was in full control of the situation and could choose polices rapidly to rectify the situation. This time Trump is not in control, Iran also has a say. I see it like this, Trump pissed on a bees nest with Iran and is now trying to put the bees back in the nest. 4) For some reason, the market really trusts Trump. I think it is pretty obvious by now that Trump really rates himself on the market and its performance. I think the market expects that Trump has its back and will do anything to keep markets up, aka wanting to decrease rates while inflation is still above the 2% benchmark. But I don't trust Trump to lead in any competent way. I will hopefully soon finish my PhD in Biochemistry herr and the things he said during the pandemic to calm everyone was just not true at all. He clearly doesn't know what he is doing and is just shooting at the hip all the time, without much of a broader strategy. He is basically doing this right now with the current situation in Iran. So, this basically what I think is happening. Fully disclosure. I wasn't investing when Covid happened, I stayed in the market during Liberation Day, but this time I started selling stock. I sold the highest risk stocks when the war first broke out and now that the market has bounced back up I started selling some of my more safer stocks to lock in on profit to buy when-I feel- the eventually correction comes. Currently long on oil, Agi Futures, Fertilizer and holding my EU defense play. Thank for coming to my Ted Talk

LurkerFailsLurking

This is wildly naive. The systemic issue is that the USD has been the global reserve currency for nearly a century, and US economic hegemony is built on that basis. The situation was never great for anyone else but as long as the US was a dependable ally who could be trusted to put global trade and the interests of capital over its own domestic politics, it could be a win-win and so everyone played along. Trump exposed how fragile this whole system is and how foolish it is to rely as heavily as the entire EU and global trade as a whole have done on the stability of a political system that has been growing increasingly erratic for decades. His belligerent trade wars with his own allies and now his wanton disregard for sanity by attacking Iran has been the exact kick in the pants everyone needed to make ending the use of USD as the de facto world currency and ending the economic centrality of the US or of any one nation a real priority. You can see it happening already and it won't stop if we manage to get whatever milquetoast corporate liberal we get told is our only alternative to psychotic Christian nationalists (probably Gaven Newsom or something).

Warned banks last week would report disastrous earnings and we should short the banking funds.  Precious metal shortages.  Recovery from liberation day is fake. ICE deportations are going to crush labor leading to empty shelves. Home prices to collapse. Skyrocketing unemployment.  PPI CPI  Dollar devaluation.

I made a comment on this a while back thisnis what I said Look up [Project Nimbus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Nimbus) Its Google, Amazon, the US government and the Israeli Government using A.I. in war against Palestinians, and Iranians. So no, it's not propaganda, it's a whole military war plan, an illegal war at that where war crimes are committed against Iranians and Palestinians. Iran / Palestine are knocking out the A.I. data center out of survival and other countries should too. Why because if it can happen to them, it can happen to you. Trump already targetted Venezulea, and then Palestine/Iran, he has spoken about targetting Greenland. By the day, Trump is getting more power crazy. So who and what is stopping him from going full global [Blitzkrieg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg)? It echoes exactly Hitlers tactic of [Blitzkrieg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg) and it echoes historical warnings like: [First They Came](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came) Which goes: >First they came for the Communists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Communist >Then they came for the Socialists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Socialist >Then they came for the trade unionists >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a trade unionist >Then they came for the Jews >And I did not speak out >Because I was not a Jew >Then they came for me >And there was no one left >To speak out for me The sooner The People snub them out the sooner better quality of The Peoples lives will get, the less lives lost to an unneccessary war, the more jobs will return, employment prospects for human beings will increase, the economy will get better faster, disparity will go down, the UN, EU, and NATO will strengthen, Iran, Palestine, Ukraine will be strengthened via time of healing, by the reinforced NATO, UN, and EU.

Crazy americucks actually cheer for US oil companies to profit at their own expense. Oil is a global commodity a price increase is going to fuck you over just like anyone else. You think Chevron gives a shit about you if they can sell oil to EU for a bigger profit? US companies are gonna be paying more for oil just like everyone else.

SkepticalInvestor21

This is a really common (and frustrating) situation with late-stage startups. The restrictions you're describing are pretty standard for EU companies - they want to control their cap table and avoid regulatory headaches. A few thoughts: **Secfi might still work** - even with transfer restrictions, they sometimes do financing deals where you get cash upfront and they get paid back when you eventually can sell. Worth a deeper conversation with them about your specific setup. **Secondary markets like Forge or EquityZen** occasionally handle restricted shares, though it's company-dependent. They'd need your company's blessing anyway. **The harsh reality:** Most people in your position do end up choosing between paying out of pocket or walking away. The companies structure it this way intentionally to retain talent. Before you decide, definitely get the exact tax implications from an accountant familiar with EU stock options. Sometimes there are timing strategies that can reduce the tax hit. Also worth checking if your company has any internal liquidity programs or if there's chatter about secondary sales - sometimes these happen quietly before they're officially announced. The golden handcuffs are real, but at least you know what you're dealing with now.

next event is EU oil shortage

Academic_Ad3607

You're asking the right question, and the answer is probably yes — the shock is already happening, the question is duration and severity. This Hormuz "opening" is the 8th optimistic diplomatic signal since the conflict began. The prior 7 reversed within 24-72 hours. The April 9 ceasefire specifically produced an oil crash followed by a $16+ round-trip when talks collapsed. The market keeps pricing resolution while the physical reality hasn't changed — Rystad estimates $58B in Gulf energy infrastructure damage that takes years to rebuild, Iran halted all petrochemical exports indefinitely, and the IEA's own timeline on EU jet fuel is \~6 weeks from depletion. Meanwhile, 40% of global nitrogen fertilizer trade transits Hormuz. India urea hit $1,000/ton (doubled). Cattle futures are at record highs (+25% YoY, herd reduction takes 2-3 years to reverse). Combined with doubled fertilizer costs, Odessa grain export threats, and 300% freight rate increases, you've got at least three simultaneous upward pressures on the food component of H2 2026 CPI — and that's a channel that operates on agricultural cycle timelines where planting decisions now affect retail prices 3-6 months later. credit side is equally revealing. HY bond fund outflows hit $14B while IG spreads sit at 1990s lows — a divergence now in its 5th consecutive day of widening. HYG options put/call ratio climbed to 4.82 (from 3.89 pre-blockade). JPMorgan and Barclays just launched CDS on private credit funds (Apollo, Ares, Blackstone) — the first instruments to directly short the $1.7T private credit market. That's the kind of infrastructure that gets built when institutional credit investors see a stress event in the 4-8 week window. And the Beazley $1B marine war insurance facility launched on the \*same day\* Iran declared Hormuz open — Lloyd's underwriters with real capital at risk are building infrastructure for prolonged conflict while equity markets celebrate peace. data shows $86B in hedge fund equity buying, creating the largest positioning overhang since the conflict began. If talks fail within 10 days, that unwind creates forced selling that amplifies any deterioration well beyond normal equity beta. The short version: the market has priced near-certainty of resolution while structural damage persists regardless of diplomatic outcomes. **The shock is already embedded in the real economy; the only question is whether financial markets catch up gradually or all at once.**

I did that even earlier, back when Trump started going after the NIH. The part of my portfolio that I actively manage was heavy into biotech. I sold it all. I didn't sell my "VT and chill" account, though I did stop feeding it money. I bought some EU defense contractors, which worked out for me, but I went into 2026 with at least 20% of my net worth in cash. I finally conceded defeat. New Year's resolution, get back in. I'm still twitchy about the general state of everything, so it's mostly bonds and commodities...and biotech. There's a reason my "VT and chill" fund is hiding in a separate account, one where I need to make a phone call to sell it...that's saved me from doing something stupid at least twice.

Either way my money is not going back into the market under the orange buffoon .

Sensitive-Radish-292

That's Europe, and most of the blame falls onto idiotic "green" governments that pushed nuclear out with an over-reliance on LNG. That coupled with poor economical planning and inability to project power is the reason why Europe is fucked. It took them several years and many ... many dead protesters (no the 30k that died this year weren't the only dead ones) to finally acknowledge that the IRGC is a terrorist group, that was actively seeking to get nuclear weapons. Their entire research was focused on ballistic missiles (hint: that's not really a defensive weapon). All war game simulations demonstrated that the first thing they'll do is economic terrorism. They saw this first hand before via their proxy group (houthis). All they had to do -- if not fight along with the US -- is to not oppose the US in their fight. This is the only reason why the IRGC regime has been fighting for close to 3 years (starting with October 7). Reality is that they wanted to see the US bleed, just like the US and EU wanted to see Russia bleed. Instead EU will bleed. You reap what you sow. As someone who grew up and lived in Europe for over 30 years - sincerely fuck the EU. End of story.

justtheicing

The US ripping because all other markets suck or are saturated. Money was leaving US and going to EU are defense stocks become a good investment but oil prices will hurt the EU. Developing markets will be double hit by by fuel prices and higher interest rates in the US and EU. BRICS nations all have their own current issues which are unlikely to be resolved soon. Their choices are limited and US looks the best option if the strait remains blocked. US is economic is border line recession but they are most insulated from word events and companies made record profits last quarter. They are also betting the US will protect the stock market no matter and are like right. No matter what happens right now the US market is likely to leave them better off.

EU was concerned about control and fascism way before Palantir… Eu wanted to abolish end to end on WhatsApp years ago, they wanted to ban crypto for years, now they want the chat control and they are already trying to track every crypto transaction…in the US none of that is a thing, and although there is all the patriot act and Snowden stuffs, none of the things above is being pushed there. And no, it is not right wing power as you say, in the European Parliament S&D (left) was in favor, as well as the PPE (moderate right), and RE (center); while PFE (far right, often called fascists) are against it, and ECR (right) is divided.

Balbuto

Dude we are fighting it with teeth and claws. That chat control is being pushed by Palantir, it’s not the EU that’s behind it, it’s the tech bros from America, you know who and Palantir.

Probably jet fuel reported. EU came out saying they have like 6 weeks of jet fuel left. A lot of aerospace names are selling off today.

EU officials saying it could take six months for a deal with Iran seemed to put a damper on the markets. I think that’s fake news, Trump forcing Israel into a ceasefire with Lebanon is clearly working towards his deal with Iran.

Right and do you believe in 6 weeks EU is out of jet fuel? Nothing ever happens

Steven81

They all use the same USD value so they are adjusted to each other. Whatever the mechanism , it seems that the US takes quick care of their competitors every time they seem to come near. 1990s for Japan, 2008 for the EU (before 2002 it didn't have a common currenct, so basically soon after) and 2020-2022 for China. Every Crisis, somehow works to US's advantage, every time and they continue as if nothing happened all the while their primary competition stops dead on their tracks... Again, I don't think that it has anything to do with any particular president or administration, there are mechanisms that makes their stocks a natural choice over literally anything else in the world. Hence the SPX being only up if you zoom out, and nothing else is.

\~55-60% of Hormuz supply has been redirected, and currently things are trending towards it reopening. It will take time but it will improve versus the last 6 weeks. Unless there's reescalation then the EU and certainly US will be fine. SEA is tougher to call but less important to the global economy.

The corporate world cares about profitability and competition. They’ll move off Microsoft if it gives them a competitive edge or cuts costs, not just to copy government compliance moves. Businesses don't usually look to governments for tech inspiration - if anything, it's the exact opposite. Plus, there are ZERO signs of any major corporate migration away from Microsoft in the EU or anywhere else right now.

these past few days we close at highs of the day and just keep the momentum going into the Asia and EU sessions

Kind of why I am bearish on most EU stocks in general. Not a euro hater here, its just everyone has their hands in the cookie jar and no one cares about the shareholder

I don't think it's political, I think around 2022 (so dur8ng a prior presidency actually) US found a second wind and its economy has switched on the afterburners vs China. This is not the only time they did so vs their strategic adversaries. They also did so in the late '00s (vs Europe) and mid 1990s (when they left Japan in their dust). US stocks show what every other chart shows, the US economy is a star unlike any other. I mean the internal socio political problems are one thing, but US, as in their economy, was never stronger compared to their competition. One can always find narratives, maybe it was the internet boom of the 1990s, the 2nd internet boom of the 2010s and now the AI boom that sets the American \*economy\* apart (not just the stocks) but honestly it is hard to tell. Look at the respective GDPs for the last several decades. US is black, China is red, EU states are blue, Japan is orange. [https://i.imgur.com/34ajlzR.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/34ajlzR.jpeg)

Who the fuck is talking about the oil going to the US you fucking retard? Way to expose you can barely read too dumb shit. If the strait only blocks US and Israel but not the EU countries, US hold 0 leverage over our EU allies. Ultimately US wants EU to be useful even if they are just going to sit and do nothing, currently EU is [enacting plans to negotiate with Iran separately without US](https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/europe-drafts-postwar-plan-to-free-up-hormuz-without-u-s-5638f5f8) while ignoring US calls to help escort tankers through the straits. That's why the blockade happen so EU can't get closer to BRICS even if they negotiated a deal with Iran. It's basically "If we can't win then everyone loses" The fact that you are talking about a toll is really the cherry on top, fuck off back to your politics koolaid sub and stop yapping off your illiterate reading just because you wrongly assumed I'm insulting your idol.

Nope. I’m just saying the government isn’t going to scrap going green for low amounts of oil n gas. If the uk had North Sea natural gas n oil reserves in the ballpark of Russia or the gulf. the government could see an extra £20-50B+ a year to help the deficit, a stronger £ for cheaper imports, more jobs, more influence in the global stage and a stronger bargaining position with the EU.

European countries didn't agree to go to war with Iran. From what I understand it was Israel and the US going in alone. There are reports that they didn't tell the EU or the Brits until after they had struck. When Trump went to ask them for assistance, from the reporting, I read the EU and the Brits both said no.

It's not really about the extra space itself, it's about the space being EU GMP certified. Plus this is a solid facility.

In EU? I think us Ameripoors  will soon be fucked by weak dollar + Europe's new payment clearing as we continue to antagonize them

Both-Improvement8645

Yeah just one of the two most influential countries in the EU, no biggie

the_real_MSU_is_us

Europe literally can't open the straight lol. America can't, and we have literally 4x the naval tonnage as all of the EU nations combined. Do you even bother to think of things for yourself, or do you trade off whatever rumor you wish was true?

US is a net exporter of energy. Europe energy prices are insane. Compare electricity prices in EU vs NA and it's easy to understand. China is technically well diversified, but they also consume A LOT of energy.

[](https://bsky.app/profile/agathedemarais.com) [‪](https://bsky.app/profile/agathedemarais.com)"Many middle powers are fast diversifying trade ties away from the US • In May-Dec 2025 trade among UK, Canada, EU, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland rose by 12% • EU leads the way, as recent burst of free-trade deals with Mercosur, India and Australia illustrates" [https://archive.ph/MSowu](https://archive.ph/MSowu) This is exactly what I said would happen and what happen his first term. It's not deglobalization, it's us isolating. The world will continue to trade with each other and find more stable trade agreements. The idea that we are the first and last resort is the stupidest thing ever sold to you. This is why all these other economies are doing so well in the stock market, they are taking our share of globalization away from us.

that's how they grade horses in EU

Essentially the US market is largely unregulated compared to example the EU - it also means it’s far more difficult to determine what is what and who is pulling the strings, how are different companies actually doing vs what they say in their future predictions models - it’s air with air on, rumor engines and ai headline scraping all just facade, but I guess that’s very much the USA just like Disney land an empty fairytale.

Doing fine my fellow EU'er, still in disbelief with all the gains i made these last 2 weeks. And you?

#TLDR --- Ticker: OMER Direction: Up 🚀 Prognosis: Buy shares, Price Target $30-$40 by End of Summer Key Catalysts: Yartemlea EU approval, EU partnership deal, and a $100M NOVO Nordisk milestone Time-Travel Status: Confirmed (OP is casually posting from the year 2026)

I wouldn't expect massive growth, and there are serious headwinds from the EU trying to secure their tech. However, azure is still growing and morons will inevitably sign up for copilot. I bought some.

MeNamIzGraephen

It honestly does - indicator may be outdated, but still semi-accurately shows the stability of the U.S. market, which has spent the last decades buying-up every valuable tech company startup across the world - mostly EU & the Commonwealth. If that crashes - and it will, due to gross mismanagment, AI bubble and market manipulation, then it's going to cause a cascade effect as so many people are relying on it's infinite growth.

I wouldn't say they are *happening*. More like they are *trying*. However, like those previous efforts (e.g. Munich's Windows to Linux to Windows flip-flop) this is very likely to be reverted after some time. France's effort is likely to go down in the same way. To be clear, unless I have to (some things are still Windows-only) I'm only using open-source software, so I'd be more than glad if they could go through with it, but the moat is incredibly deep. I just don't see that happening in my lifetime and most certainly not in the next 5 years. Now software is not the hard part. Replacing hardware is at least an order of magnitude harder in a lot of cases. EU is not leaning off US military machine in the next 20 years. Wero is not replacing Visa. They are not going to have a replacement for iPhone in the next 10 years.

Or does he? We europeans really did screw ourselves royally with energy. Well, germans screwed us, specifically, but that's besides the point. Energy prices in EU are killing industries left and right and can't go on like this for much longer.
