What do you think if Revolut as a long term investing platform and for a lifetime savings account? Detail: I have started my carreer recently and have started putting aside some money monthly invested in safe investments like SNP500 and other stocks. Furthermore have a fail safe money set aside for rainy day but the local bank charges fees as its stagnent while revolut offers good apy on such savings. However I am a bit sceptical on the long term and thus want some feedback. I live in the EU.

apurimac777

I would sell everything and go cash but I dont live in the EU so cash is trash too

tobofopo

So it's all the fault of the EU?

The_Albertino

Going to see some interesting global behavior soon, all of these EU NATO countries can’t produce their own oil and won’t help open the strait.

Hard to call it a “golden bottom” or a “falling knife” yet. Real estate markets, especially in places like Dubai, tend to react quickly to geopolitical events, but they also recover quickly once confidence stabilizes. A few things I’d personally look at before jumping in: • Whether the price drop is sentiment-driven or fundamentally driven • If foreign investor demand slows down over the next few months • How the rental yields hold up, since that’s been one of Dubai’s main attractions • Whether developers start offering incentives or discounts Dubai’s market has historically been very cyclical, so timing can matter a lot. Waiting a few months to see if prices stabilize or if further corrections happen might reduce risk. Another thing some investors consider is diversification. Instead of putting everything into real estate in one market, some people look at business investment opportunities in other regions, especially in the EU where there are pathways tied to entrepreneurship. For example, Lithuania has been attracting foreign entrepreneurs through business investment structures where people can establish or acquire companies with capital starting around €28k. The idea isn’t just property investment but building a business within the EU market. If you’re curious about how that structure works, this video explains it fairly well: https://youtu.be/ngiGFq9dEZI?si=qfX_YcgA1dlxp8UF You can also find more details at Pathways.lt. But purely from an investing perspective, I’d personally wait to see how the next quarter plays out in Dubai before making any major moves.

Markets are absolutely underestimating this, and the asymmetry of the risk is what concerns me most. I've spent years watching how energy supply shocks move through capital markets, and the pattern here is textbook but at a scale we haven't seen since the 1970s. Goldman's data showing flows through Hormuz collapsing from 19.5 million barrels per day down to 0.5 million isn't a marginal disruption. That's roughly 17.2 million barrels per day offline after pipeline rerouting. To put that in context, the entire SPR release during 2022 was about 1 million barrels per day, and that was considered historic. The math doesn't work. The stagflation setup Mattie describes is the right framework, and I'd argue the transmission channels are faster than most models assume. A 10% increase in oil prices tends to push CPI up by 0.2-0.3%, and we're already looking at Brent up 12% since late February with WTI and EU gas prices moving even harder. If crude sustains above $125, as Mill Creek Capital's CIO flagged, energy spending hits 2% of global GDP, which is historically where you start seeing demand destruction layered on top of inflation. Central banks genuinely have no good options at that point. Cut rates to support growth and you pour fuel on inflation. Hold rates or hike and you accelerate the slowdown. What I've seen in prior supply shocks, including the disruptions around the Gulf War and the 2019 Saudi Aramco attacks, is that markets tend to price the initial move quickly but consistently underestimate duration risk. The 2019 Abqaiq attack knocked out 5.7 million barrels per day and prices snapped back in weeks because production was restored. The critical difference now is that Iran's cost to keep the strait closed is a fraction of the cost to keep it open. That's a structural asymmetry that favors prolonged disruption. The food import angle is underappreciated too. Roughly 70% of Gulf food imports pass through Hormuz. That creates a humanitarian pressure that could force regional actors into unpredictable decisions, adding another layer of risk that's hard to model and almost certainly not priced in. One thing I'd watch closely: insurance and freight rates on tanker traffic. Those repriced almost overnight during the Houthi Red Sea disruptions, and they're a leading indicator of how the physical market views duration risk versus what futures curves are showing. Right now there's a gap between the two, and in my experience the physical market is usually right.

**IBRX jumped above $9 after NCCN Category 2A listing — then closed red. If you’re worried, read this. If you’ve seen this before, you already know what comes next.** --- ## The pattern that repeats in every heavily shorted stock There’s a playbook short sellers use on catalyst days. It works like this: News drops. Retail buys the breakout. Short sellers aggressively sell into the momentum — not because they think the news is bad, but because they *have to* prevent a sustained breakout. A sustained move triggers margin calls. Margin calls trigger forced covering. Forced covering triggers a cascade. So on catalyst days, they throw everything they have at the stock to keep it down. The stock drops. Retail sees red and panics. “Not even good news could move it.” Short sellers win the day. But the catalyst doesn’t end at market close. Revenue grows. The next catalyst loads. And eventually, short sellers run out of ammo. --- ## Tesla. June 2019. Record deliveries reported. Stock drops 1.5%. Shorts celebrate. Tesla sits at $178. Deliveries keep rising. Revenue keeps growing. Twelve months later: $2,213. Every catalyst day between $178 and $2,213 followed the same pattern — spike, pullback, sometimes red. Shorts sold every single one. They lost $40B. --- ## GameStop. January 13, 2021. Ryan Cohen joins the board. Stock spikes to $31, closes at $19.94. Red day — despite a major catalyst. Short sellers increase positions. Two weeks later: $483. Melvin Capital loses 53% in a month and shuts down permanently. --- ## Volkswagen. October 2008. Porsche reveals 74% ownership. Stock *falls* 6% the next morning as shorts pile in. Then it goes from €210 to €1,005 in 48 hours. $30B in short losses. --- ## ImmunityBio. February 18, 2026. EU approves ANKTIVA across 30 countries. Stock drops 42%. Then continues to pull back. What happened next? * Lung shipment approval to Saudi Arabia * EAU26 shows HR 0.4 * NCCN lists papillary cancer as Category 2A Every drop after each catalyst was shorts buying time they don’t have. --- ## What actually happened yesterday NCCN gave ANKTIVA a **Category 2A** rating for papillary bladder cancer. This is their highest level of recommendation — uniform consensus that the treatment is appropriate. This is the indication the FDA refused to review. NCCN reviewed the same data and gave a unanimous recommendation. Starting now — permanently — every urologist in the U.S. can prescribe ANKTIVA for papillary disease with full NCCN backing. All major insurers and Medicare use NCCN Category 2A as the standard for reimbursement decisions. Every new patient = revenue that didn’t exist last week. This doesn’t stop at 4PM. It compounds. --- ## The math short sellers can’t escape 132M shares short vs ~160M float. NCCN just expanded the prescribing base. * sBLA resubmitted March 9 * BLA for BCG-naive patients targets Dec 28 * Saudi Arabia ramping * Europe just launched * Six new catalysts loaded Every catalyst increases prescriptions. Every new patient increases revenue. Every revenue beat weakens the short thesis. A weaker thesis makes shares harder to borrow. Harder borrow = higher cost. The math turns against them — just like it did with Tesla. --- ## Daily price doesn’t matter. The trend does. Red days after catalysts are oxygen for shorts. Catalysts are the fire. Eventually, the oxygen runs out. The stock closed red yesterday. The NCCN Category 2A listing is permanent. The question isn’t today’s candle. It’s how many red days shorts have left before the math catches up. **The trap is tightening.** 💯🚀🚀🚀

SaladAndEggs

Maybe. But they already hold a similar patent in the US and EU, so why would Japan make it worth a fuck ton more?

Academic_Lock_1699

It's US pm dictating now, not EU

JustWordsSnowflake

Nailed it. 100%. NATO and the EU has basically told Trump to fuck off. China wants nothing to do with opening the straight. (They and Russia are almost certainly helping Iran in the background). This won’t end well. Period. About of damage done. And the orange turd is already planning on taking Cuba. I seem to remember a guy in the 1930/40’s doing something similar……

RoughVegetable5319

yeah this feels like a massive overreaction. Trade with Spain isn't just gonna stop overnight, too many tangled EU/US agreements. Santander getting dragged down with everything else seems like a panic sale more than anything fundamental. Might be a good entry if you've got the patience for it. y

Patient-Stand-8040

My friend, what was lifted was secondary sanctions. Even the EU doesn't secondary sanction. Only the US.

SonOfLuigi

Oh please. USA will declare victory after we’ve decimated Iran and let the region deal with the fallout while oil flows and we gain Cuba as a vacation destination. USA diminishing as a world power 🤣 Please, who is going to overtake us? The EU? Russia or China? Nah

Charming_Raccoon4361

imo, its less to do with Epstein Files and more to do controlling oil and pressuring india, EU and china

Bravadette

Nah. It was something I was looking at but didnt realize there were any EU decisions coming up.

Bravadette

It went up 40%+ today... cus of EU funding.

MaleCowShitDetector

It hurts the Asian and EU market more than it hurts US. There is not much to intercept. Iran is gone, it's a matter of weeks. China doesnt benefit from prolonging the war either, they are more hurt by it as they need oil reserves. Russia does benefit from it. You can't really get the level of info i'm getting unfortunately.

AlbertiApop2029

I bought EU - enCore Energy the other day, down a little but not crashing. I saw a really good interview with [GeneralMatter](https://accessipos.com/general-matter-stock-ipo/) yesterday, very cool. My friends showed me their Uranium glass collection on Halloween last year. I think it did something to me! 

Outrageous_Tip_2133

Iran will try their level best to extend the Hormuz closure to memorial day weekend. If they are able to do that, it will match the increased travel demand for the US and EU summer travel season with the reduced oil supply. That is guaranteed to send oil to 150 a barrel. 

AbbreviationsActual9

Britain and the EU haven't lifted their sanctions so those countries don't benefit, but countries like China do. these previously sanctioned Iranian tankers are holding Russian crude that's doubling in value and the US political and military enemies are benefiting. on another note, the US is also allowing Iranian oil tankers to continue to move Iranian oil out of the straight. they could seize or (even worse) destroy them but they won't. is this the crowned jewel of monumental fuck ups or what? no planning. no concern for the logistics of economic damage mitigation. no international coalition building for a war that effects literally the entire worlds economy. then getting upset for not getting allied support after spending a year shitting all over them. trump would be a used car salesman if he wasn't born into such wealth. it's so amateur and coming from someone who's never lived with consequences. if he finishes out his term (which is likely since impeachment and removal seems impossible nowadays), or doesn't get a cork put on his antics through a midterm sweep, he's gonna tank not just America's economy but most of the worlds as well. meanwhile China and Russia are sitting back and laughing. china in particular as they renegotiate trade deals without us. can't wait to read what brilliant combative idea he comes up with next to distract from this crisis. each smokescreen just seems worse than the reason he created it.

luigisanto

I think the EU and everyone else has figured out that Trump is in huge trouble. They are going to come to his aid and the US is collapsing on itself.

RareGuarantee3532

You are mistaken NATO and NATO countries mybro. Orangelord is asking help from nato countries, agression war is not within NATO range of attribution. same goes with UKR war, its NATO countries involved, NATO itself is not. NATO is just a treaty of mutual defense and army interoperability. NATO itself is preparing defense (against dead CCCP), stationing at eastern EU border, and train combined forces. Each countries composing it has an army, which it can decide to mobilize or not alongside USA whenever they go export democracy (and make demonstrations of new military gears for business purposes).

RareGuarantee3532

wasnt it the newyork time that reported 10 (or so) CIA base in Ukrain by rusian border ? Wasnt it Na to instructors training Ukrainian a rmy from 2014 to 2022 ? Wasnt it US Pelosi's voice that got public when she basically "chose" post maidan Ukrainian nextboss saying "fk EU" ? Lets not assume everyone is an angel, secret services do not exist or other lunatic assumption. It was a regime change in Ukr by Nato countries, like US did in venezuela, like US try to do in Iran. VladPut just couldnt fight with the same sneaky means any longer and had to go conventional, now we are conventionaly loosing.

Aromatic-Tone5164

it becomes a huge question of who is doing it, and why I don't have any strong opinion on the EU doing it, but an uneducated take would be that I trust their capital markets & regulations a bit more right now

BGM1988

It isn’t. today EU is importing 12% of its gas supply from Russia (40-45% in 2021), and 1% of its oil (30% in 2021)

TechnicalReserve1967

No, NATO charter is on defense of NATO territory (be it on sea or land), what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz, thanks to trumpet playing war has no binding obligations from NATO. It is incredibly simple and clear. Not understanding this strongly implying nefarious intent from your part. We shall see how it plays out, but there is no obligation from NATO to participate here. If the EU gets a deal with Iran, they have zero incentive to participate. They could probably just start trading with Iran after the US literally tried to strong arm them, intimidate them with Greenland and the tariffs and left them without help in Ukraine. If the US doesn't help his "allies" why should their allies help them? It was a perfect I scratch your back you scratch mine deal that trumpet managed to ruin. Even not helping with this and that was okay, but he actually worked to ruin it and now is acting surprised. Now the question really is how Iran wants to play this, because if they allow the other big players to ship their stuff, it will, by extension to the global markets, reduce pressure on the US. On the other hand, they won't support the US, making their task that much harder. Trumpet with his ineptitude handed this decision to Iran now. It is unimaginable to see the ever only super power being destroyed by the amount of incompetence that their own elected officials bring to the table. But here we are.

DMT1703

Ah, yes, the greatest rise on my renewable energy stocks today. Hydropower and Hydrogen. Lmao. Oh yeah, USA and Israel might be the only ones who are "bag holding" this war lmao. The EU just throws money to Ukraine instead lmao.

szczszqweqwe

US Strong US don't need allies fuck EU US Strong EU help pls Fuck EU US Strong but honestly he wanted to externalize risk of escorting ships, Americans aren't ok with US soldiers dying, but Trump is perfectly fine when EU soldiers do and then he will claim that EU does nothing and the burden of fighting was always on the US.

cedrus_libani

That was priced in IMO. If Russia thinks they can pick off soft targets on the EU border, that's going to be the EU's problem for now. Bigger risk is that surging oil prices bail out Russia's economy, which was cracking under the weight of sanctions. Putin isn't going to stop until someone throws him out a window, and that's not happening until the money is completely gone.

OrdinaryMix4013

EU can handle Russian without US i think. in fact, they can just make a deal with Russia and not risk going to war.

BlackKnightsOptions

I think EU not helping with Iran is going to backfire spectacularly. Russia expands beyond going after Russia and now Trump will shrug and point at this

I_am_Nerman

Well, it's the EU. Expected

annoyingpanther

Seeing in the headlines now that Europe is refusing to help US reopen the Strait for obvious reasons (even though EU are more negatively affected by its closure). I really wonder how this’ll all play out.

Better-Call-SauI

Your money? You gave some old 1960s crap from stockpiles that the Ukrainians were too polite to not decline? While EU actually gave useful stuff and helped prop up their own production. Ukraine produces 5 times more drones than US today. You Americans are useless, but are too proud to accept it and now you think you can go with your missiles and overturn Iran, but it'll just collapse the world economy.

Quick_Bet5660

I learned the UK and EU did away with the requirement in 2013 and it didn’t really change anything. Companies continued to report quarterly. I don’t think this is a major deal

LeeS121

I would fricken love to see the EU and all stick to their guns…! Arrogant SOB struts in puffing his chest out saying “we got this…!” Allies are caught totally off guard as the U.S. goes and whacks a hornets nest and can’t understand why the Iranian government wouldn’t bow to his whim… after chastising the allies for over a year he wonders why none of them will come out and play in the sand! Unfortunately, we will lose service personnel over Trumps irrational behavior and jeopardizing the world at large… he deserves everything he has coming… EVERY STINKING BIT OF IT!!!

Gom_KBull

Wait, did he start all this bullshit because the EU didnt give him Greenland? That's petty as hell.

$CING likely to spike today (or tomorrow) and once again in ~2 months. So very short term. They received Notice of Allowance from US patent office today, not yet PRd by the company. When they got granted the same for EU last year it spiked from 5x.

Likely major catalyst. 12M shares outstanding, no options shenanigans available but strong potential

garden_speech

Only redditors can complain nonstop for a decade about how companies focus on short term quarterly profits and then suddenly decide that going to semiannual reporting, standard in the EU, is a bad thing

Careful_Response4694

In 1 month we're gonna see speculators fleeced on near term oil futures because the tanker shortage will not reach the US and EU yet and emergency releases+russia sanctions temporary lift will cause oversupply of oil.

icydragon_12

Meh I've been an analyst at a global wallstreet firm. In the EU and UK, quarterly reporting is technically not mandatory. Companies that actually want investors still do it though. Basically.. It'll be optional. But not really, if you want investors, because investors like quarterly updates: they wanna know how things are going with their money.

toxicomano

Thank you. I legit thought I was in WSB with all the bird brained comments at the top claiming capital will leave the US because of this. To where? The EU, which stopped requiring quarterly reporting over a decade ago?

Afraid_College8493

You're overestimating the dissatisfaction of the Gulf states with the war, and the benefits to the US of a strong dollar. No other bonds, including those of the EU, have the safety, liquidity and depth of US bonds. However, countries like China that are gradually reducing their US bond holdings (in spite of what I mentioned above) are actually doing the US a favor. We need to cut our deficit - not grow it because foreigners throw money at it.

sin94

It might as well be worth exploring the prediction market and, eventually, online casinos. In fact, even websites or games with loot boxes often have more transparent disclosures. People should start investigating overseas operations that are subject to some regulatory frameworks. Certain EU countries, for instance, have implemented age limits for social media usage.

cantsleepwithoutfan

At this point waiting for him to tweet that Iran and USA have teamed up to take on the EU menace, if it meant oil prices go lower for a minute or two.

ghendler

Why though. The EU eliminated quarterly reporting and a lot of jurisdictions only require mandatory semi annual reporting. The SEC‘s proposal is going to be for semi annual reporting so it should align with other jurisdictions. I do believe quarterly reporting is best for investors, but the world seems to be moving away from that. Maybe when we have another financial crisis that will change.

Adventurous_Storm356

The problem is the talent and capital mobility - across the EU but also globally. If you're making yourself attractive for the average to poor person, that's whom you're going to attract and retain. While the top performers go to countries where they can become wealthy. We're already seeing massive brain drain in Europe, with a lot of entrepreneurs going to the US or Dubai or Singapore. And if your top earners leave, who is going to pick up the bill for all the low earners? That's right - the middle class, which in many Western European countries is being squeezed to death. I'm from the Netherlands myself, and while I love Europe for many reasons, our idealism is financed by a fairly small percentage of the population, and it's not sustainable forever.

BendDelicious9089

Except it's going to pass and money will continue to flow into the US because it's the US. And next year you will be proven very wrong. When EU switched to semi, no impact to investment or the flow of capital. The same will happen to the US. A multitude of factors are why investors prefer the US, and a switch to semi is not going to mitigate those other, far more important factors.

16semesters

I don't think my opinion of the Chinese Communist Party effects companies in that country ability to make money. Nor do I think that the US at large like or dislike of the CCP has a large effect. [China has a very poor unfavorability ranking in the US](https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/04/17/us-views-of-china-and-xi/) But their companies still make tons of money in the US. Why is this? It's because money is the only thing that matters here. And the EU is still importing from the US at a record clip regardless of public perception. The stats do not life and the money does not care about redditors opinions. You're making the opposite point you think you're making.

vasquca1

Its going to be interesting if this sentiment changes as oil and gas prices start to increase in cost across the EU, GB and US. Here in USA you already know mfers are ready for full on war mode if prices stay high.

Sensitive-Talk9616

FYI semiannual reporting us standard in EU, China, UK, Australia, and many other places. So with this US would go more in line with most other big markets.

16semesters

This sub has thrown economics and discussion of stocks out of the window to discuss lame political opinions. Someone saying "Europe is disappointed" means nothing when imports from the USA into the EU are at an all time high. You guys will never make money in the stock market if you turn everything into a weirdo online popularity contest. Lest you think I'm supporting Trump, I have literally never voted for him and voted for Clinton-Biden-Harris in that order. Just I'm here for stock talk based on fundamentals not here for 17 year old redditors political takes.

BendDelicious9089

What on earth are people blabbering about as if it's the end of the world? EU is semiannual, Australia is, Singapore is (for the most part) By god, it's really just Canada and the US. This is going to be better for asset managers who can stop chasing quarterly reporting earnings.

finance-mcp-001

semi-annual reporting. a lot of other countries/regions do this to combat short-termism (I'm not taking a stance), including Japan, the UK, the EU.

The Nebius thesis is the most interesting one here — infrastructure layer first, then enterprise AI operationalization is exactly the playbook that tends to win in platform shifts.

WSB-mods-are-

EU is going to monitor the fuck outta this situation

Vanillas_Guy

I dont think they *want* to, but as we've seen since trump got in, the EU is very dependent on america economically. They didn't develop their own digital infrastructure so most of the software and cloud computing in Europe is america based. They didn't protect their own manufacturing sector, so American brands have penetrated their market. They didn't invest aggressively enough in home grown renewable energy, so they had to switch to american energy suppliers after breaking diplomatic ties with Russia and they're still buying some Russian anyway.  To the point where Putin even said he might ban even *that* https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/putin-suggests-russia-could-stop-supplying-gas-european-markets-now-2026-03-04/ I am less frustrated these days because I've been paying more attention to what leaders *do* than what they say. It is in the financial and political interest of EU leaders to prevent an energy price crisis. They want to simultaneously look like they're opposing trump and the Russians while continuing to remain economically dependent on them and it just isn't going to work. For example, next year there will be an election in France. Macron's party will need to explain what he's done to actually stand up to america and russia while keeping costs down for the french public. He's sending French military personnel to try and keep goods flowing through the strait of hormuz because if this can't happen, prices will keep going up and he will be in hot water politically at home. The EU HAS to become digitally independent, and it has to become less dependent on petroleum. Its not just an environmental issue, its a matter of national security. They could completely sit this one out and actually be able to push back if they were less dependent on america but they can't so whether they like it or not theyll have to get dragged into this and on top of that, theyll have to pay the same americans theyre supposedly standing up to, to reload on any materiel that they lose trying to force the strait of hormuz open.

EU allies to taco: are you fucking retarded?

Vanillas_Guy

They will run out of missiles and drones. We don't know how many they have, and EU states are willing to get involved. An invasion won't need to happen if there are no more missiles left. The problem is that the american missiles and drones Israel, the EU and america itself are using are extremely expensive and their manufacturing capacity is inferior to that of China. China is the real winner here because this buys them time to continue investing in their defense sector. This is also giving them valuable data on how effective the weapons they sold iran actually are and how they can improve them. Meanwhile the American tax payer will have to foot the bill for the millions of dollars spent on weapons not only for america to reload on its supply, but also for israel too. If democrats break from their tradition of unlimited support to israel and unlimited spending on the military, this will force Republicans and trump to have to make the case for why voters tax money should go to the weapons for Israel(which has become increasingly hated by the public) and money for the military(which is being sent to kill for israel and giving americans nothing in return other than higher gas prices). But thats a big IF on democrats which are despised by their own voters because they consistently put their own financial interests ahead of the interests of the people who actually vote for them to the point where many of them are just staying home because they feel its pointless to vote for someone who will just immediately ignore the base if they win.

twitterfluechtling

We do have EVs competing with combustion cars, and higher gasoline prices should shift the demand to EVs. Even current generations EVs are suitable for most daily needs. Solar panels are already being mass produced, delivering electricity cheaper per kW than most other options, and the current energy prices should make them even more competitive. (Yes, I'm aware electricity does not directly compete with oil and LNG. But heat-pumps and EVs are already commercially viable and can replace oil/LNG-based equipment.) Governments especially in the EU should be highly motivated to reduce their dependency on oil and to invest in the required infrastructure to support the economy. I for one feel highly encouraged to extend my pv installment to add storage, get it black start ready and install a charging station in front of my house, based on current technology.

Gonna state the obvious, don't get mad EU men: EU is a bureaucratic joke right now. Weak leader. Weak men. America doesn't need the whore moose oil and it is trying to keep the commerce going and EU won't help. I guess good times do produce weak men. Sad that Now the time is up A strong leader would send in help just for training the navy with some real action. Gain real data. Bureaucrats From the Belgian to the Balkan , from Germany to England, generations of weak men and women deep in the mire of dichotomy of nazism and modern leftism, wasting their lives away. Ancient Greeks and the Romans all valued valor, strength as well as wisdom, boasting the military excellence to be integral part of civil experience. Plato stated explicitly democratic capitalism without honor and wisdom is doomed to fail, ranking it below Timocracy and Aristocracy. And who is carrying their mantle now ? Is there anything else left to take pride in on this cultural wasteland?

Not just UK, [Italy and France are openly talking to Iran](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-italy-open-talks-with-iran-securing-safe-hormuz-passage-ft-reports-2026-03-13/) and ignored US calls to form a coalition lmao. China has been sailing through the strait like nothing happened, meanwhile our EU allies are open to trading in yuan just like Iran asked. US is in such a fucked position, and we're even more fucked because we're Americans(well I am Idk if you are).

* deal * no deal * China navy * EU misc mixed mutts navy * US navy [ about 600 km away from the action, at a safe location] * Pete Hogsbreath paddling a keg across the strait of Hormuz like a madman to open it up with live grenade in hand. Which likely bs scenario will keep the market afloat on Monday ?

Different types of oil from each field so it's a lot more complicated. USA both imports and exports, Venezuelan oil is difficult and their infrastructure needs upgrades (which takes years). So USA will be hit too (not as hard as EU of Asia)

If the guy believes the strait is open because Trump and Hegseth said so, they went crying back to EU for help then it's clearly not open. Bootlicker is an understatement.

EU will either have to accept Putin oil and gas, or help escort. All of Europe is trapped. no options.

The entire EU is a joke theres no way lol

He’s talked shit about NATO and the EU for almost 10 years now. What an embarrassment he is

thousandfoldthought

They might not. But they're using our military to make Greater Israel. When they get that we will be so overextended they'll ditch us and re-partner with Russia, begin exerting pressure on EU. Still might not go their way but this is what's happening. Think about everyrhing back to 2015, look at it through this lens it's obvious. Epstein files are forcing their hand BEFORE the midterms and trump's sloppinness might actually be the thing that gets us to fix this but still. The moment a dem wins r's with screech debt/deficit/austerity. We are cooked. Epstein files confirm it all.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONING

ok, so the EU is just going to pile a bunch of navy vessels within easy striking distance of Iran? idk seems so stupid its almost like we're trying to manufacture justification for boots on the ground

EU FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTERS WILL DISCUSS POTENTIALLY A WIDENING OF THE EU ASPIDES NAVAL MISSION TO THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ- FT And as Iran has stated “we are waiting for them”

Buy in Euros if the option is there, otherwise you end paying FX from currency exchange. As for ETFs, I keep buying UCITS because it's the only option available in Europe, you can't buy certain US etfs because in EU there are regulations, for instance SMH (semiconductors) is different in US and EU, the EU is capped at max 10% allocation to one company, while US is around 18% into NVIDIA for instance (more risk and more return).

How about they change the yuan to the euro instead. No way is anyone going to give China power over oil since they are as bad as the USA and Russia. The EU is the most normal of the big powers.

most people still think of tesla as a car company but the energy business is quietly becoming huge. their energy storage revenue has been growing faster than the auto side and if they start selling electricity directly that's a completely different margin profile. the uk approval is interesting but the real question is whether other countries follow. if they get similar approvals in the EU and asia this could be bigger than the car business long term

MuricanWisecrack

this is bullshit. Iran is \*always\* open to negotiations. But currently not with USA or Israel, because that makes no fucking sense. They are negotiating with EU for a sidedeal and EU pressuring USA and Israel to stop the aggression. Why should Iran seriously negotiate with Trump again?! He used the last negotiations to bomb. There is no game-theoretic logic for Iran to assume anything but maximum damage can increase their negotiation-position in the face of Trump. Only trumps allies begging him to stop this shit is going to help iran - so they do exactly press for that: Destroy everything that is allied with the US in the whole region, until the US finally grasp that this is not a war that is economically feaseable. (WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN THAT POSSIBLE BEFORE? SURELY NOT THE CIA AND EVERY FUCKIN NATION IN EU OR IN GENERAL)

y_u_so_madd

Why would the EU want that ? US has spent the last 14 months being hostile and telling them to fuck off. Let the US figure it out, after they backstabber all their friends.

In 2024–2025, the average annual full-time salary in the European Union (EU) is just under €40,000 lmao

Fertiliser I don’t know, but for LNG it’s also less than 10%. Qatar is the biggest exporter to EU in that region at 3.8% https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infographics/where-does-the-eu-s-gas-come-from/

Ok so you are not American then, so why are you complaining about 0.65 expense ratios on a thematic EU ETF? Most index ETF's in Europe have higher expense ratios unless you opt for iShares or similiar US-issued-EU-domiciled. Based on your complaint, it would make sense to assume you are American and anyway it is not an insult so I really dont understand what you are upset about.

Commercial_Deer_7114

I dont think you Americans really understand how awesome your capital markets are for retail investors. This is a relatively cheap ETF by European standards. Our expense ratios are high because there is essentially no competition among banks/financial institutions and it is illegal to buy US-issued ETF's as the EU tries to protect the financial oligopoly. Some US-issued ETF's are available in a EU domiciled version, which is always worse than the original US one.

Gonna tell you that Starlink has little to no footprint in some markets like EU or Southeast Asia. Total subscriptions is around 10million. No idea how many of those were Russian drones (which could imply a hefty lawsuit due to export limitations have been circumvented for dual use goods). Aldi Talk, the mobile contractor for German food Discounter has 10mio active subscriptions aswell. The impact Starlink, SpaceX and xAI has is highly over priced and mostly based on how much money Enron Musk is spending from his pseudo wealth to keep it going. It’s AI circlejerk on solo player mode.

EU doesn’t import much oil via the strait, it’s less than 10%. It is though affected by the global oil prices. Most of the oil goes to Asia.
