I have EUAD and will be holding long term
EUAD - aerospace and defence
See also the EUAD. I bought it last January after Trump's inauguration and his first actions but sold at October/November for some good profit.
EUAD (European defense ETF) VDE (Vanguard Energy ETF) SPDR (select energy ETF) AGMI (Silver ETF) PPLT (platinum ETF) 20% each
I love the laughable, outrageously in your face stock manipulation. "Guise, defense companies make too much money." "Loljk spending more money on defense." Glad I have a shitload of EUAD and shld.
It was very irrational. I was literally rolling on the floor and laughing at all the panic selling, while I was scooping up some great deals on NVDA. I'm still laughing at all the people who sold S&P500 index funds for things like VXUS and EUAD etc
EUAD a safer bet than metals right now. I got out of most of my metals today, will buy back in next dump. But I'm full steam ahead on defense ETFs.
Buy EUAD every time 🥭 goes hyper focuses on ukraine peace. It crashes every single time just to rebound higher when the talks inevitably fail.
My EUAD and my KDEF calls are printing! Starting to scale out today!
EUAD - European Aerospace and Defense ETF
EUAD for European defense stocks. Up 78% in 2025. Will go higher as European countries continue to rearm while moving away from unreliable US policies.
Yeah I'm balls deep in EUAD now, gonna invest more tomorrow.
Hoping my EUAD holdings rocket Mon. World about to start militarizing like crazy. I mean, not sure if anyone really thought about who has the manufacturing capability to build the most military assets, but meh I guess that's a problem for later. Oh, and it's Gyna.
EUAD: European aerospace & defense + PPA: American defense. And throw in Israeli defense company Elbit Systems Gets you a wider range of exposure to the arms industry!
I put a shit ton into EUAD and VEUSX and spanked the S&P
Why not go with something like EUAD instead of all these individual euro defense firms?
EUAD up 73.2% YTD VYMI up 33.4% YTD SPY up 16.8% YTD Eurorich ETF’s won this year boys, mangoo destroyed the best economy in the world less than a year and it’s only up due to AI fraud
Look at NATO and EUAD if you like defense/aerospace. This would diversify your portfolio towards Europe. There's also a new EU ETF called wisdom tree WDEF. Also KDEF holds Korean defense. Importantly you could look at XAR, UAV and JEDI, which hold drone tech companies. I also like Rolls Royce (RYCEY in the US). I also like the solid VTI/AVUV advice (see VT as well). I don't invest in those other sectors you listed.
I've whooped the S&P this year due to ASTS and RKLB, and EUAD and RYCEY on the Int'l side. We'll see about 2026 :-
Whenever Trump hypes peace in Ukraine and starts promoting peace talks/negotiations Europe defense shares like RNMBY EADSY EUAD fall. As the talks fail and the fighting continues these shares rise. The RFK JR/TRUMP autism/Tylenol announcement hit KVUE, now the shares are up as KMB is buying the company.
XAR, SHLD (US), EUAD (Europe)
First year I’ve made 6 figures health >>> wealth Thank you to the following: ONDS, SLV, GLD, COPX, GOOG, LMT, RTX, EUAD, VYMI, RKLB
lol, piled into EUAD as soon as he took his oath. Could have made more somewhere else.
Biggest gains were from precious metal etfs, NEM, RKLB, GOOGL (bought after April dip, still undervalued imo), VEU, defense etfs (EUAD, KDEF), RNMBY (bought early in year and sold in the summer), and COF. Also swing traded LULU for solid profit in the fall. Biggest loser this year was NVO but I'm bullish on it in the medium term
European defense and aerospace. I like Rolls Royce (RYCEY) and the holdings of the etf EUAD. I worry about Europe. Also drone companies and Amprius, a US next gen battery tech company (AMPX). RR is also building SMRs, small scale nuclear reactors. I think in peace or heaven forbid war, all these companies will do well.
Since nov 2024 i've been 60% VXUS, 25% EUAD, 15% SPY worked out pretty well so far
Did anyone else buy KDEF and EUAD on the dip. Nope because you all only know meme stocks and Chip stocks
Sorry I meant WWIII!!! In hindsight selling PPA was a mistake, but EUAD has also performed well. I don't hold XAR but it looks good. Same for RYCEY, it will surely do well as a civilian and military jet engine supplier. I don't believe the current round of Ukr/Rus talks will lead to peace, buying Rheinmetall on the dip and selling for a quick profit.
I have XAR, and bought EUAD and NATO to get some EU defense exposure. I like Rolls Royce too (RYCEY).
looks like the EUAD dip is mostly down to the RNMBY dip - why?
Yup. EUAD is a buy right now. Lowest it’s been in months.
I went almost entirely into European ETFs in January. (EUAD in particular). I'm up ~40% in dollar terms and feeling pretty secure with the distance from the US market.
EUAD because Europe is gonna have to defend itself from Russian aggression and can no longer count on US Hegemony
Got a little in the ETF EUAD, along with it's great EU defense aerospace exposure.
There are a lot of broad European utfs so I encourage you to do your own due diligence on them. My biggest holding is EUAD because Europe rearming seemed like another no-brainer.
Picked up EUAD in January.
I invested in EUAD when Trump started some the international idiocy. Up nearly 40%. Seems to have flattened out though
I did well on EUAD this spring but it’s been pretty flat since.
they probably just wanted something that was like catchy you know... I mean my justification was that China would be cutting us off from rare Earth minerals because Donald Trump would start a trade war with China, and we would have an acceleration of the global macroeconomic trends that have been taking place over the last decade which could be compressed into several years... such as dedollarization, money printing, massive political instability leading nations to acquire lots of defense products. coupled with the fact the United States is rebuilding our entire nuclear arsenal but does not have enough uranium to complete the task, which means that there needs to be a massive increase in uranium mining. Russia used to be our top source for enriched uranium for nuclear plants, but that's no longer an option... in Jan/Feb my core position moved to EUAD, KDEF, ITA, SMH, XME, GLD, SPY, UDN. With some other fun stuff like Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu stock
I was a pro prop firm trader from 2007-2010. I'm old. Like in a room with multiple news feeds going, techs in the next room for when computers would crash, people breaking keyboards. All that to say that I have a very healthy respect for markets even though I've made plenty of money long. When you see the markets go to shit in front of your face all day every day when you're 23, it takes a toll. I remember a chicken company going out of business intraday, my boss loaded it up and went down $100k in seconds (shares not options). The NY office stopped him out, he had to call and yell for them to unlock the acct. Anyway. I have trauma. I also live off investing. I started selling on Weds and sold a fuck ton on Friday. Selling more on Monday. I also spent months in 2022 teaching myself to short small caps so I'm pretty good at seeing tops. Friday was ugly. We've got some serious trapped buyers, homebuilders have been going down for a while, MSFT and GOOG tipped me off to sell some of my SPY on Thursday. Those are acting wrong and have been. AAPL needed to break $260 and failed. NVDA is about to be a big failed breakout. That Bitcoin flash crash was fugly. RVOL on SPY was over 2.2 yesterday, that's some serious selling. This is more than Trump. So I was just on that sub Race to 10 Million. We're in trouble. People are overleveraged and dumb enough to think that a 3% dip from all time highs is a great place to buy. The fact that that sub even exists is a red flag. Not to mention all the new people in it asking liars to show them how to make $10m. I'm down to OPEN, GLD (was already up 17%, doubled the position EOD yesterday), EUAD, EWG, VGK, SPY and a ton of cash. Going to make 4% on it until it's time to buy. I don't have anyone to rant about markets to besides my partner and they can only hear so much of it. Plus they were sitting next to me yesterday when I started watching price action and dumping positions. I really thought we could run more. Bummer. I have nobody to talk to so I'm ranting at you guys. This sucks, I thought NVDA could break $200 and that SPY had another 20% in it. Alas.
Question: Is there any other firm that will allow me to buy positions across different multinational markets? Right now I am with Interactive Brokers and hold various stocks across EU markets. I opened the account when I wanted to buy a bunch of EUAD and found that none of the standard brokers here would actually let me buy EUAD. However, I really dislike IBKR’s UI and their customer service is lacking… I have everything else in Merill, and while their tech interface sucks it’s a significant upgrade. Would love any insight. Currently hold shares of Italian, British, German, Swedish, French, and Danish corporations. I could have purchased a few of my positions on OTC markets, but not RNMBY or EUAD, which is a massive percent of my IBKR portfolio. Thank You!
The world is a lot bigger than the US. Go look at Euro defense stocks and ETF’s. EUAD is where you can start.
Getting out of UNH and EUAD for now. Had 20%+ profits, I don't like this flash crash shit. Maybe I'm paper handing a little, but I can pivot a bit harder into INTC if it smooths out
EUAD because Europe is also ramping up defense spending massively
Nope. VSAT, EUAD, KDEF, all dipped a little so I lost too. But the trajectory is still good.
The popular European defense ETF $EUAD is up +90% YTD. The 10-15% devaluation of the USD is clearly not the main factor here. Chinese large cap ETF $FXI is up +35% YTD. And I'm not mentioning individual companies like $BABA (up +115%) or $FUTU (up +120%). The USD/CNY exchange rate is virtually unchanged during that period. Currency here is not a factor.
I trade Forex, own EUAD, GLCR. I think the dollar will go lower before it goes up. Lower rates almost guarantee it.
An ETF mainly at the moment, $NATO. I'm on Vanguard and in some cases they don't allow OTC securities buys so for some odd reason that means I can't buy shares of Rolls-Royce with them as an example. It's got all the def companies within nato member countries and a pretty low fee involved on it so that's been where I've started shifting some money currently scroll down a bit and you'll see the csv of the holdings [https://themesetfs.com/etfs/nato](https://themesetfs.com/etfs/nato) EUAD is another interesting one, basically those same companies as $NATO just excluding the american companies with a slightly higher fee on it at 0.50% [https://www.select-funds.com/fund-info](https://www.select-funds.com/fund-info)
Probably the EUAD etf
EUAD has some exposure to power generation due to rolls Royce kind of dominating the turbine space for nuclear reactors and also being an aerospace & defense company. I continue to buy RYCEY as an individual stock. I started buying it at $1 though so my cost basis is next to nothing haha I think the global markets will continue to shift towards European assets for stability. While the economic center of mass is certainly shifting towards Asia, there are concerns for risk of governance in India and the impact of the government on monetary policy and corporate activity in China. I believe this makes Europe the safest investment available right now and the money appears to be flowing there. One could make the case for Australia as well.
I agree with everything you have said. But i struggle with the next step. Is there still room in EUAD and EUFN. I think the next big move will be in power generation. As EU will start to on shore more of their own data.
Yeah so I still hold VOO but new money in is a lower proportion VOO with higher portions going to gold, SPDW, EUAD, and EUFN. I’m more so buying gold to hedge against the dollar continuing to underperform, which buying European assets also does. I’m buying very specifically European defense ETFs due to what I believe to be emerging hesitance to trust the U.S. EUAD is up 88% YTD. I also felt like other countries were losing confidence in the U.S.’s financial institutions and Europe was on sale. So I’ve been buying EUFN which the total etf is up 80% YTD. I’m buying based on my own personal estimation of where the world is and my belief in where it is headed.
Lol. It's garbage. Check out shit like EUAD, B, or CDE.
Lol this clown bragging about 4% SPY and muh bols. Check 1M on EUAD, GLD, SIVR, B.
EUAD: especially with the current administration, the European block knows that they need to get serious about beefing up their own defenses and not relying as much on the U.S.
EUAD -> Select STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defense ETF
It's worth noting EA might be too late to hop on, as they just got valued at $50bil in an offer to be taken private, so I might get bought out at another slight 4-5% gain or whatever on top of my current gains and just dump that gaming bet back into Gamestop or maybe just put more into my international bet in EUAD or whatever, but if that offer to take them private falls through I plan to hold it well past $50bil.
Panera, Big Lots, Gamestop, Dollar Stores, etc. Some of these chains are no longer relevant in the same way they were in 2006-2009, with the exception of Gamestop and dollar stores like Dollar Tree and Dollar General (I hold both), but really you need to ask what behavior changes in a recession. Do people go out more? Do they stay home and play video games more? Do they buy new products or sacrifice the clout to buy used and affordable? Do they buy homes, or rent? Do they start trying to find ways to make ends meey like selling personal things online? Do they save time eating out, or save money buying groceries? Do they pay convenience fees anymore? Some of these questions are in the air (if eating out or buying groceries is cheaper for the average person anymore) some of them have historical precedent (people do not value convenience/time saved in a recession - unemployed people have all the time in the world). That said my biggest holdings to prepare for a recession right now are GME, EA, AN (way less overvalued than CVNA imo). I have some others that aren't defensive recession stocks, like QBTS which has served well ever since I bought at $4 after the NVDA CEO shit on quantum tech without a clue what he was talking about (I studied physics and work in an industry with ongoing valuable real use cases for annealing computing), and some ETF stuff based on what I believe about world events like EUAD, but overall I'd say 90% of my portfolio is defensive and 50% of it is in GME alone because the safety of their massive cash holdings. EA has already given some good returns and I think it's going to get stronger as more people have nothing to do but play games and throw the few dollars they have to entertain themselves with at stuff like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and countless other titles, EUAD is well positioned for an EU that can no longer rely on American military help, and AN is probably going to gain a larger and larger share of the auto sales industry as buying from dealers becomes increasingly more financially stupid than it already is.
Not sure who the target of your post is, but I've literally had my best year of investing in my entire life by fucking off to international stocks in January and avoiding the mess in the US. I'm up over 85% on my EUAD stocks. I'd be up only about 10% if I had left that same money in VOO over the same time frame. Even my safer VGK stocks are still up like 25% in the same time frame.
Invested in the European defense industry (EUAD) earlier this year. I may be a war profiteer but I am up 1300 bucks
EUAD up 87% ytd already
There's an ETF... EUAD that I prefer.
I spent the last seven months getting CDs before the rates went down. I also bought EUAD (up 27%) and GLDM (up 21%).
bro this country is done I just DCA in BTC and AOA/EUAD/GDX and call it a day
EUAD if you want American ETF, SHLD if you want a Canadian ETF
Agree, myEFA and EUAD has done well since March
Lol ok. Meanwhile EUAD, EUFN, gold juniors, etc..crushing the fuck out of s&p.
My IRA up 12+% in last 4 months and I'm pretty conservative. Gold, silver, EUAD.
IRA with bearish US wise investments like gold, silver, EUAD doing 1.77% up today. Bears who don't just constantly buy SPZy puts doing great.
Hoping my EUAD positions go crazy next week
Spy ytd: 12% EUFN ytd: 47% EUAD ytd: 83% GLD ytd: 36% GDXJ ytd: 100% Bulls: we winning on US broad market, me do good mommy?
Lol. Oooh. Nice job! Now check EUFN and EUAD. What now?
EUAD calls were a decent choice then Also fuck russia
Once again- EUAD was my best hold of the year besides GLD. Russian invasion of Poland would be very bullish for this stock.
I went partially cash before liberation day and bought a lot Up 37% on just EUAD in that time
I bought Rheinmetall back in 2023 when they announced they would be building an armored vehicle repair facility in Ukraine. That got me curious about other Euro Defense companies. I started looking more and more into where the EU defense spending was going, especially after Trump won again and went back to his anti-NATO shit again. I quickly realized I didn't know enough to be picking individual EU defense stocks. EUAD has been good to me this year. I bought it back in January just to give myself exposure and not have to be as diligent.
Made money on EUAD & just bought an Icelandic fund. VXUS is also a good one.
I think my EUAD may run its course. Should I take my profits?
Agree. As an options noob, I broke the rule don’t trade with low liquidity options when I bought EUAD long calls, Dec 2025 $45, and couldn’t sell to close unless at a .32 cent/share loss. Then $12 in commissions.
Mango croaks I’m full porting into EUAD
If the US market crashes, it will take the world with it. However, my impression is that structural damage is being done here that will prevent our market from recovering at the same pace as others with less erratic management. The current focus seems to be both on tariffs and reducing interest rates. That combination looks like it will cause stagflation. And of course there's a guaranteed recession by end of 2028. So yeah, I'm looking at some outside options. I bought a little EUAD, since the EU is increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP. EUAD is up 72% so far this year.
Pumping stock market but devaluing currency. My highest performer is EUAD.
Huh so this meeting will decide whether or not EUAD pump or not.
EUAD through Schwab
Oh cause EUAD is doing soooo fucking well since Liberation day
Yeah, EUAD also trimmed some of the loses. Only down 0.5% now.
EUAD, the EU defense ETF which has Rheinmetall as its third largest asset, is down 4%!!! I plan on buying a lot more because even if there is a truce, EU countries (especially Germany and France) will continue to pump money into their defense. I don’t know if there’ll be a short term rebound, but companies like Rheinmetall or Airbus would be long-term holds in my opinion and I’d take advantage of this dip to open a position (or DCA an existing position).
I own SHLD and EUAD and they’ve performed tremendously so far this year.
