Highborn_Hellest

I'm in the EU ( specifically Hungary, where I live) their prices have gone insane. All fast food to be fair. It used to cost 1.5X of the menu at my workplace to eat out. Now it's closer to 2.5, while the menu also went up. The weirdest thing is, that as the prices almost doubled, I see more and more people eating out. Like what the fuck. No shit they pump prices like no tomorrow if demand doesn't drop.

Dude as a european i see america as a big loser county. We actually started to hate america. Sp500 wont hold for long as a lot of investors from EU are starting to look to other markets to invest. I bet by the end of 2026 you guys will be already in a big recesion. Your dollar lost 15% already and it will fall even more. You guys pay the tarrifs and not the way around.

There are lots of issues e.g. the Nexperia issue is ongoing. There claims to be a resolution but factories could have stopped and people out of work. This impacts auto and related industries. China has had their US tariffs reduced without doing anything (compared to a lot of "deals"). Bank of Japan spooked investors just like the fed in the US about JPY being too low. This sparked a bit of a selling frenzy that likely spilled to EU / US. As to why - see the yen carry trade. Lots of investors borrow in Japan to trade. Investors are risk off AI (e.g. from NVDA hitting 5 trillion and clouds borrowing lots of $$$), so removing assets. EU isn't free of these e.g. ASML and ARM so those are getting hit hard until they decide to put their risk hat back on and mass buy again.

Ok we are almost ready for an epic V. Now it all depends on the EU boiz in 2hrs. If they wake up, see Nikkei/Kospi -3% (and didnt realize they were -5% at some point) and see red futes (not realizing we are up almost 0.90% from the bottom), and they starting panicking and selling off - as europoors always do - they can cuck the last 5hrs of liquidity provided by asia. So i guess, if theres is a G-d in this stock market, pls, hear my plea, europoors for once, pls pls dont sell. AMEN

More respected, don't care. Is Germany meeting their NATO mandate for the first time since the Cold War ended? Yes, they are. Is that respect? Is that fear? I don't care. It's results. They've been the economic powerhouse of the EU for decades and should have been paying their portion. Are more of the worlds largest corporations and richest countries investing and building in America? Yes, they are. Because of respect? Don't care.

yeah i agree. but the selling is relentless and its on every session: Asia, EU, US and for multiple days. The sentiment is gone to shit, even if i still dont think theres a clear catalyst (or its simply the market waking up to all the stuff we ignored for the last few months). Either way, this doesnt feel like a buy the dip, since i dont see an end in sight, since i cant tell WHY it started exactly

Proper_Historian801

Problem with this indicator is that the US stock market value to GDP ratio has trended higher for 40 years or so. There's no consensus on what it should be. Could just be people losing faith in the EU and China, which frankly makes sense given that the EU keeps trying to commit economic sepuku and China has a 300% debt to gdp ratio at least.

And since gold/silver and BTC are all ghey, the best thing to do is sit on USD/Bonds? Is this whats going on? Or its the politicks: Momdami winning today, Supreme court tomorrow? Now that I think of it, there's not a single good news left, so everyone just sold? and we all compounded on each other's selling leading to ASIA -> EU -> USA global sell-off?

Time to short you, man. This kind of glaring ignorance is a sire sign of a failing mind.. The EU is at its core a *liberal experiment* in free market economy. There isn't *one single socialist country* and as for a green focus it is the future *regardless of what your handler tells you*. Living in Europe doesn't make you part of EU, EU is something earned though belief in trade, capitalism and actual intelligence. You Russian bots are a shame to humanity.

DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

The US economy grew with over 100% since 2008. The EU grew 13% in the same period. You can make money everywhere, but if you want to buy and hold, go for the US. I'm 80% invested in the US and I'm Dutch. The only reason that's it's not 100% is home country bias.

scarpy8

Yeah it actually does matter which broker you use — mainly for regulation, fees, and features like fractional investing. Some smaller or lesser-known ones are fine, but you really want to make sure they’re properly regulated, especially if you’re investing from the Netherlands (AFM or CySEC oversight is a good sign). If a broker ever goes bankrupt, your stocks are usually kept in segregated accounts, so you should still own them — but it can take time to get them transferred out. That’s why sticking to regulated EU brokers is worth it. For fractional investing on a smaller monthly budget (€300–€500), you’ve got a few good options. Interactive Brokers and Trading 212 are popular, and I’ve personally had a smooth experience using InvidiaTrade lately. The platform feels intuitive, they let you buy fractional shares easily, and withdrawals have been quick. It’s been solid for me so far, especially as someone who started small. Since you’re in the Netherlands, I’d definitely go for an EU-based broker — it just keeps taxes and legal stuff way simpler in the long run.

So Google’s revenues in EU for example, doesn’t count for US GDP? In that case OP’s point is valid. The more revenue is generated outside the US, the more the buffer indicator is invalid.

re-thc

OP assumes the world is the US. Lots of players exist in the Asia Pacific - Japan, South Korea, etc etc. The suggestion that US and by extension the military hand waving Trump is stretched thin is far fetched. There are lots of resources (including non-US) to utilize. How does China preemptively strike US military base before the invasion? Do you know how many there are and spread across many different Asian countries? Do you know how close Japan is to Taiwan that they'd likely participate just in fear of getting hit indirectly? I'd counter argue that whilst Trump is in power China would NOT want to invade. The constant action just gives Trump and team more experience. Where is China's experience in this? Military isn't just about drills, training and theory. The execution is hard. Lastly, invading Taiwan isn't about military might. Any escalation in that area will clog up all the ports. It won't just be the US that's angry. You'd see troops from the EU and everywhere else as well. The US military did a report that any escalation of Taiwan would hurt the world economy more than the cost to send troops to protect it so the whole world would act. i.e. if it was so simple China would have done it years ago. Why now? Not a good time. Their economy hasn't recovered. They haven't dealt with their reliance on imports (improving). Also you assume the current ruling Chinese government leaders have full control of the military (hint: they don't).

They might, at any time, decide certain perfectly legal business are not of their liking and stop servicing them if they don't comply. Not paranoia, it happened to *STEAM* not just your minor weekend shop. Now: that by itself wouldn't be much of an issue; in fact it would be a legit business choice. Except they are a duopoly with 97% of the market share. And are fully owned by non-EU entities located in a country that is... not excessivly "friendly" right now. So... yeah. An alternative was necessary. And because private banking entities in EU failed to be up to the task, ECB had to step in directly.

You can look for ESG details. Personally, I only avoid investments that are illegal (i.e. the jurisdiction/company is sanctioned by EU/OFAC).

It’s worse it didn’t even cover anything, have to pay to see a doctor, my blood tests costs me whatever they want to charge, it ended up being 250. Then I had to get the general practitioner to recommend me see a specialist but they wouldn’t do that. So here you’re pay for ins. Copay, tests and they won’t let you see a specialist. I’d think like United Healthcare if the cost was high enough they would just deny you. Was traveling in the EU and SE Asia no insurance and complete exam and X-ray and test for under $20. It’s about 1000%+ more in the US with insurance. You’d be better off booking a flight, taking a vacation and getting an exam in SE Asia, you get a vacation and exam for less than here in the US

Venture Global * LNG imports from Russia to the EU will soon come to a complete stop. Large amounts of LNG have been coming from Russia to Europe. * Possible EU–US "tariff/energy deal" * Ukraine is requesting additional LNG supplies from Venture Global. * The CEO is one of Trump’s “business associates.” * LNG orders from the EU are already increasing. * China "promised" to buy more LNG from this company. * The company is rapidly expanding its LNG production capacity. * Analysts are still trying to push the stock price above USD 15 (currently around USD 8.6). * There have been some issues with fulfilling orders for larger energy companies, which has caused the share price to drop recently (a temporary issue due to limited production capacity). Arbitrage cases few.

GOOGAMZNGPT4

Sure. I agree with you. US and Asia are world polluters, citizen sickeners, corrupt, exploitative, gambling bubbles of corporate dystopia, war mongers, soulless and immoral. But mathematics is king in investing. That means you put your money in US market for highest growth. You either ride the train or get left behind. Fruitlessly fight the system to your own self detriment if you want. If a paradigm shift happens, I will follow it when it does, but I will not fool myself into thinking I can pre-empt and predict it. >EU is not endangering mankind or destroying the planet AND markets at the same time All world governments are corrupt and self-interested. EU is not without massive issues of its own; from free speech, to innovation, to immigration, to Russia, to Islam, to competitiveness on a world stage, to vulnerable geography, unelected bureaucrats, infighting ..... I would kindly remind you to not pursue virtuosity in investing.

cosimoiaia

I am in EU and I can see it just fine. I used to complain a lot about the regulations and the closed mind and it was fair until a certain point, now I see that at least the EU is not endangering mankind or destroying the planet AND markets at the same time. US and Asia have gone completely mental, imo.

Thanks for the comment. Successful piloted test flights (conventional take off and VTOL) have been carried out and the final stage (prop transition flight) is due in the next couple of months. Vertical is looking to certify to the highest aviation standard (i.e. one crash in a billion hours of flight aka 1 to the minus 9) in a dual track process with Britain’s CAA and the EU’s EASA. Doing so should allow them to hopefully gain FAA certification also. Take a look at the new Vertical\_Aerospace sub and the video Henry Blodget. Certification is covered from 27:14 onwards and here is an excerpt of what Vertical CEO Stuart Simpson states… ‘Our aircraft will be exportable everywhere. The US competitors will not be exportable into Europe or the UK despite what they're telling people. We have confirmation from EASA and the CIA that they will not allow anything that's not to the minus 9 to fly over populated areas in Europe. Hence Archer and Joby’s focus on the Middle East!’

Rare-Energy-4357

This is fantastic work; thanks for putting in the effort to synthesize the data. It really underscores how difficult it is to find undervalued quality right now, especially in a market where valuations across the board are stretched. The fact that you filtered the EU top 500 down to only 18 "great companies" and then found just 4 at or below fair value is a crucial takeaway for fundamental investors. Out of curiosity, are you primarily using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model for your "fair value" calculation, or are you leaning more on comparative metrics like P/E or P/B ratios? I’d be especially interested to know if your filter for "great companies" included a high barrier for Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), as that usually separates the best from the rest. Great contribution to the sub!

sunday_sassassin

There are so many competing designs in the SMR market and I'm not sure there are that many buyers lining up. Impossible to pick a winner now but if I had to it would be one of the established builders like Rolls Royce who have orders in the UK/EU, or the Bill Gates funded Terrapower. First-movers who can build economies of scale have a huge advantage when it comes to building SMRs. Using a (SA)LEU design is definitely in their favour though. Fuel supply chain security (and cost) is likely to ward buyers away from the experimental HALEU approach for at least a decade.

From my understanding: Ye Amazon is the partner / big e-commerce company here. - Videos/Photos - SEC Filings from last year: "testing at warehouses in UK/EU" and then the MSAI youtube video showing Amazon Warehouse sites (timestamp 23/24) - now expansion But (risking hard downvotes here): It's not like the stock should explode now. - There is a massive dilution coming in ~Dec 25 with around 27.3 Mio. new shares - The revenue with the amazon partnership (presumably) was still quite low --> A fair value as of now shouldn't be above 1 $ atm. It will take a massive rollout / other partnerships to justify a 3 $ price target This is just a reminder, you can get profits now, but it's really risky and unlikely not a straight way to 3 $ or more in the next months

As if having a foreign duopoly is worse. Also, Brics Pay is already up and running in a small way. That is a serious contender, and the EU is correct in launching their own system.

butterfly_labs

This. And by the way, Wero's original scope was much bigger, with projects for a complete payment network. Its was drastically scaled down due to lack of capital and political will. Right now, it's not much more than a C2C money transfer service, one of many. I used work on payment systems. Changing *anything* is incredibly slow and complicated. The whole EU banking sector relies on decades-old systems and is very reluctant to change. It took years to roll out instant payment, 2FA, the DSP2, and none of these things are very pleasant to use compared to more modern designs. Hopefully we can get rid of Visa & MC eventually. Relying on a foreign actor for critical infrastructure is never a great idea.

Starlink documents are very inconsistent. For example 2.6 million customers may not equal 2.6 million paying accounts.

Holy propaganda Batman, is this where we're at? China is by default high risk like India or other semi shady countries die to *rampant corruption and questionable law enforcement*. The political risk of China is second only to the current US regime... And anyone who lumps EU and USA together in this regard is at best a fool and likely a paid mouthpiece. EU has only ever done *retaliatory sanctions based on US activities*.

Lumpy_Ad2192

Yeah, my biggest concern is that unlike European markets, China will inflate numbers for political reasons. This market manipulation has resulted in very poor long term returns for a lot of their biggest stocks, which *might* be mitigated my an ETF, or not. For now, I would see them as a slightly different version of M7, which is to say artificially propped up, but still massive growth over time. The trick is whether that volatility pops like a bubble or drops like a crash. Chinas government will probably continue any manipulation to ensure the drop is soft, when it occurs, but that’s the game. Some combination of mature EU, LA growth, M7, Asian ETFs, and gold is probably as “safe” a medium growth package as you can develop because most of those aren’t too interdependent right now. Just keep your eyes open about the politics, because if China decides to manipulate certain company stocks downwards to reduce pressure on the economy you will likely be surprised because it won’t be telegraphed

firechicken23

Adding one more comments since I've been asked to look at 3 stocks now and I am just gonna list what \*I\* look for in a biotech stock, since I invest in them. By the by, a lot of these companies are what are called "late stage" pharmaceutical companies, typically they do not develop novel compounds, they license pre-existing ones that have some level of promise in pre-clinical (mice, rats, dogs) and move them into clinical, so typically a lot of these companies will only ever have one product. 1: first thing I always look at is the leadership, specifically the CEO and CMO, do they have successful prior projects? have they launched a product before? I want to see a lot of experience and I want to see prior results, 2: Then I take a look at what the drug is treating, what is the market? if its an orphan drug that means a low number of customers, but easier FDA regulation. if its something more ubiquitous, say, a blood thinner, the market might be huge but the FDA will have tighter guidelines. Has it been granted some level of FDA fast tracking (breakthrough status, high unmet need status, PRIME or innovation passport to the UK or EU?) Typically I am investing in companies that have made it to phase 3 with solid communication with the FDA and good reporting 3: on the financials side, whats the debt situation? how much cash are the burning? are there liabilities? companies in biotech can straight up run out of money, even if their product is incredible, and that can be the end of things. so I wanna see that they have money to bring them through at least another year. 4: Finally, if I like everything, I will look at "catalysts" upcoming FDA meetings, investor conferences, whatever it is. If all of these lineup, then I will invest.

Kaymish_

I think it is the same risks as any other. I have a fair amount in Hong Kong ETFs and I'm seeing pretty good returns. There's a lot of propaganda going around demonizing China, but if you want to be a good investor you need to cast a critical eye and try and discern the reality from the fiction. And in my estimation Chinese markets are among the less risky especially as we see the EU and US ramping up ridiculous sanctions on people.

I did google it, couldn't find the number of regulations EU has compared to the US. I figured you would know and have a source since you're the expert here making the claim. What about regulations by industry? State level regulations? City level? You also ignore that regulations can increase both functionality and convenience for consumers. The US is also more culturally stagnant than Europe so that kills your whole theory in the crib anyway.

jokikinen

It’s a geopolitical concern so it would go forward even if it were more expensive. ECB has already ran tests and trials. The headline is autonomy from US based payment systems. But the change also underpins attempts at bringing EU markets closer together by enabling innovations that resolve issues that are of strategic concern for the EU. The EU market is fragmented. There are multiple steps being taken to resolve this. The innovations built on the digital euro are one part of that puzzle.

jokikinen

The digital euro alone doesn’t provide the whole infrastructure. It’s the pipes, but the taps need to be put in place as well. That point of sale, apps, whatever you may have. Of course there’s work being done here with apps like Wero, but there might still be some additional hurdles. I think the winners will be innovators who make use of the new infrastructure to get a competitive edge. The digital euro opens a new arena for innovation. It’s also important for EU business and countries. It could be one enabler of a more integrated market—where EU businesses would have an easier time reaching all of the 450 million citizens. It has to be said that the details are still scarce. Depending on the concrete steps, winners and losers might differ.

Real talk if liberal states separated from the rest of the country it works a lot better. Small countries and states can be run more like a fair village. Giant diverse nations with people 1,000s of miles apart there's going to be too much disagreement. We should pretend that the South won and let them work out their libertarian experiment. We can be like EU and do ours. Personally I believe in capitalism, I don't think pure socialism works but think it's gone a little too much that way without checks and pendulum needs to swing towards socialism for a while.

Tnx men for your answer, I like your view on it. For myself, Not really informed about the gold run-up. However, don’t see a chance in near future with China shifting away from buying gold assets to be less dependent on US Dollars, so would not bet against it. You might take a look at Flow Traders, market-making company. Stock dipped yesterday 10%. But they are expanding their trading capital heavily. Active in APAC, USA and EU. Also highly active in the digital assets space. Just IF markets are gonna panic and VIX increases to at least mid 20 levels, this stock will shoot up, as always, a lot. Options have not a very high IV, so perfect hedge. For the rest holding 50% cash and the rest riding risk seeking riding the momentum in core US mag 7 tech stocks, especially rolling options Amzn and Alphabet. What’s your take on markets going into 2026?

Has the EU really innovated in the past 30 years? The only thing I can think of is them making ozempic, ARM which powers nearly every mobile CPU and CERN hardron collider.

70+200-50=400to600? It’s interesting dd and I’m long Amazon too but I don’t see how giving someone cheaper internet makes them an Amazon/aws customer… prime streaming - I agree but I don’t see how a customer will be roped into over HBO or Netflix If long term all you need to have satellite internet is 2000+ satellites then I see 5-6 competitors existing around the globe. Prob a EU, China, Russia one and 3 US companies

I think that one thing holding back the share price is not anything to do with ANIC. They have in their books the best and most scale-up-able companies in cellular agriculture. I wonder if the blocker might be competition. There are no other instruments on any exchange to note. Plenty of private equity action (recent EU fund notable obviously). I also have no idea where the competition will come from. Likely not the US. Maybe an ANIC company UK based lists within the next 18 months on NASDAQ or AIM. Otherwise we are buying the only cell ag operation going.

I thought the main reason it dropped was this “Finally, we continue to monitor active legal and regulatory matters, including the increasing headwinds in the EU and the U.S. that could significantly impact our business and financial results. For example, in the EU, we continue to engage constructively with the European Commission on our Less Personalized Ads offering. However, we cannot rule out the Commission imposing further changes to that offering that could have a significant negative impact on our European revenue, as early as this quarter. In the U.S., a number of youth-related trials are scheduled for 2026, and may ultimately result in a material loss.”

The rare earths continue to flow like spice. The EU was over there negotiating for it too.
