I started with EUAD and switched to NATO because it had several EU defense companies that EUAD did not (like Dassault). I’ve also put funds into VGK (Vanguard’s European markets ETF), and also added FLGR (Franklin Templeton’s Germany ETF). Yes I know there will be “overlap” and I’m fine with it. Germany is really going all in on defense and will become the European leader in that regard. Global X has a defense ETF that is a decent mix, but I liked how NATO really did include more European defense companies than EUAD.
I’ve been DCAing EUAD and am pretty happy, it’s not Rheinmetall gains but it’s something!
EUAD is a good sector ETF that has performed well.
I own EUAD. It is a bet on a secular trend of de-globalization and US isolationism. Has proved correct so far.
PPA, EUAD, NLR are my plays for this in the short term. Long term? Same picks but add FIW to it
Bought EUAD a couple months ago when reducing my other ETFs and up 20% as well
I couldn’t own meta as facebook has caused so many issues I wouldn’t invest in cigarettes I want a green future but I own CNQ I own EUAD as I want to see Europe find its independent defense and support Ukraine We all have to navigate what feels right
This one looks good. Bought more EUAD yesterday and today as well.
I pulled early and banked profits. Through the money into short term Treasury bonds. After they wrapped up, put about half into VT and EUAD and rest back into Treasury bonds. Made out pretty well so far.
My EUAD etf is up 30% since March…
There are a few different ones but i'm in EUAD
I've been long EUAD for a while and they include Airbus which looks poised for strong non-military growth as well as China wants to buy 500 of their planes. Europe and China are negotiating on rare earths too in an overall trade pact. One of the problems which has turned up is that rare earths are needed to make defense products and China probably isn't keen to support other countries building products that may be used against them in the future. China would probably like to have the export ban on ASML EUV machines lifted.
I have a lot in EUFN and EUAD let's go.
Buying Royal Caribbean in March 2020 and holding. Also second best was buying Nvidia also in 2020 and 2022. I generally hold. I took some profit in November 2024. Another good thing was buying EUAD in January 2025. I also made bad decisions like selling Palantir Technologies at a modest loss and holding Moderna but I only invested like $1000 in Moderna. Another bad decision was investing only $2000 in Reddit at IPO.
4/10. Small caps are for trades and not good during high rate cycles. They will be good coming out a recession. Why make it so complex? 10% AVDV seems high. I’d rather buy some global ETF’s. KSA, a German one, Mexico maybe, EUAD a good European defense. Add gold or silver. I have PAAS and AEM, but SIL or SIVR for less risk maybe for you. BTC is missing. And long term treasuries I don’t see the point.
I'll never long PLTR or GEO. I did make money with quick shorts on em. There are great alternatives. For instance, Europe's defense ETF: EUAD is up 67% on the year and aligns with my ethics.
Lots of Europe, lots of international defense. As for China, I’m only exposed to their stocks within emerging markets ETFs. All have done really well this year. See performance charts for EUAD, SHLD, VGK, SCHE, VEA, VYMI for reference. I also bought some GRAB as a single international stock.
Just to clarify that EUAD covers all of Europe and not just the EU
the problem with defense sector doing well is usually b/c it's leading up to war. EU defense stocks are sky rocketing, b/c Trump keeps threatening to pull out of NATO, or not get involved in Russia decides to move into Europe. So, Rheinmetal, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, etc are all going up. I still think there's plenty of action left even though they've massively spiked, b/c what EU is trying to do is quickly militarize to the point that US pull-out of NATO won't be missed. That's going to require a LOT of build-out. If you don't want to do a specific stock, there's defense ETF's that cover various areas. SHLD - Global X Def Tech ETF (all nations + police and security companies) NATO - Themes Transatlantic Def ETF (NATO countries US + EU) EUAD - Select STOXX Europe Aero & Def ETF (EU only) ITA - iShares US Aero & Def ETF (US .. boeing, etc) You can hedge your bets buy splitting your money across all 4, or you can do ITA for US + EUAD for EU. Trump wants to put a lot of $ into military, so don't completely get out of US def sec. But, EU is having to massively build up things.
You can buy the EUAD etf that’s been up a lot for me this year. SHLD is good for global defense. The momentum is there now for both, but it does not mean it’ll keep going up forever. Monitor global geopolitics closely and adjust your holdings accordingly.
The fund is new but the underlying companies are not. I believe it will pick up and do well after some time for people to take notice and buy into it. Most likely scenario for a boom in this ETF is where SHLD/EUAD falls and IDEF stays up, that will give IDEF a lot more eyeballs and rotation into it.
Wow $EUAD Nice little steady stream of money…..
EUAD for the win, here. Up 25% plus
Just invest in EUAD. If Trump's an idiot, it goes up. If Trump is quiet, it also goes up because the damage has been done.
Because some ETFs move way more than others. When tariffs started people said buy EUAD, which is now up over 50% since inauguration, I’d probably take my profits by then, and 6 months is very short term for an ETF.
With King Chaos I want to distance from US stock uncertainty. EVs are winning. Trump’s drill-baby-drill and return to coal rhetoric. I also like European defense EUAD ETF.
I got some money in EUAD already. Plan to move more
I’ve gone the ETF route. SHLD and EUAD.
Making good kit, being a reliable ally, and having half the world under our security umbrella was good for US def and aerospace business. Demand for our stuff offset the cost of production by 1/3 on economies of scale alone. Randomly abandoning a close allies in their middle of a war against a 1930’s-style invasion of conquest into Europe is bad for business. And has been great for the EUAD fund.
EUAD might be worth a look
EUAD, although prob too much gain already to make sense.
EUAD has performed very well for me but I bought at the lows. It does not include Rheinmetall for some reason, so keep that in mind when you're researching it.
EUAD one of my favorite plays, I loaded at 30!
I put a load into EUAD which is a EU defense ETF. Up 40% already. Wish I had gotten in on RHM early too, though.
Take most of what they are saying with a grain of salt. I get ideas here sometimes. Today I sold a bunch of INTC shares at the open. I bought a European defense contractor ETF on some advice from here and made a bunch of money (EUAD) so far. Just like a lot in life be patient & careful. Use it for ideas, then do your own research. I get ideas from the news, work, internet & talking with people.
EUAD has my heart. Having trouble not going all in
# The rest of the world is trouncing the U.S. stock market. \- CNBC Headline It's true EUAD alone has saved my portfolio.
I was literally right you regard, what are you on about? I bought back in mid April and am doing just fine. Also, EUAD has given me like 30% return since this comment. You’re acting like we weren’t almost down 20% YTD after this
Why do I feel like we’re gonna end up reluctantly backing Ukraine again? Pentagon is shoring up defenses in northern Europe. Bullish for EUAD, which did well today.
they all did well yesterday, just hoping they don't drag today. I only own EUAD so it's a basket.
Let's see, since 🥭 took office the US index is down about 5%, and Rheinmetall is up about 200%. Even EUAD is up 60%, and if you ignore defense entirely and just buy VGK, you're still up 20%. Maybe 🥭 will decide to stop ruining the economy tomorrow, and the US economy will recover. But even if it does, that isn't going to necessarily collapse the European economy, so I'll have plenty of time to move money back into the US while remaining ahead of people who stayed.
I feel lucky to be in brokeragelink. I'm spread out in IAUM, EUAD, EUFN, some real estate shit, and foreign markets. Would suck if I had like 2 mutual funds to choose from (wife's 401k).
EUAD has been nice so far, beating USD depreciation at least lol
February this year, I saw some news about Trump having that meeting with Zelensky, and some more news about tariffs being planned. I sold most of my VOO and put half of it into Rheinmetall at 186 and the other half into EUAD. The next day that meeting happened and was even more disastrous than I could possibly have predicted. A few weeks later I sold the rest of my VOO, and transferred everything from EUAD into Rheinmetall. This was while RNMBY was between 240 and 285. And yeah now RNMBY is a little over 400, and between that and some BAESY I've got 70% of my investments in European defense. Would be 90% but my 401k doesn't let me buy individual stocks.
PM and GLD are the move, buy in if it falls but not at these levels TMC looking good too think it’s going to moon with what ive heard VYMI/EUAD also near ATH but great choices
> Although personally I just moved everything into European defense in February EUAD has been my top performer since I bought it in Febrary. Though I did not go all in on it like you did. Congratulations.
EUAD always messes up my RH port jumping all around before and after market 
EU companies, ETFs If you are not in the EU you can find stocks like the EUAD that invest in European defence and aerospace stocks. Chinese stocks and Asian emerging markets are an alternative too if you can stomach the turbulence.
EUAD continues to save my port everyday. The real bols are in the EU now.
Got a few European ETFs. My best preforming is EUAD. European defense and aerospace. Was io 2% on the news that UK will be involved in a domestic (European) defense fund. Don’t know if you have that there but if I were you I’d look into getting into that one.
EUAD just casually saving my port every day since January.
I am glad I have a position into EUAD as a defensive play, but also exposure to Europe which feels undervalued in some key areas.
I feel the same but I feel less bad about holding EUAD because at least the europeans are coy with their savagery
VYMI and EUAD stay winning My long-term port is up bigly thanks to them, every position green today
I did buy but just a little bit. A little bit of google, a little Nvidia and a good amount of EUAD. It’s hard to decide when you’re not part of the oligarchy and don’t know what’s next. I’m glad I didn’t sell and I benefited even just a little .
Incorrect. I bought EUAD. I didn’t buy Rhein, because it was insanely overvalued. Keep coping though.
Being defensive before today burned me. I cashed out on my gold ETF, with a profit. My EUAD ETF is getting hit because it's seen as a defensive play despite how Europe and those companies did well over there today. I didn't time WMT well, and that is down for no good reason imo. Then my gamble on OTC WJRYY is down for no reason. No news, it's a great company in Japan, but some rich ahole decided to dump shares. SMH. /end rant
I sold in the 550's to buy RNMBY at 186 and EUAD at 28.6, then about a month later sold my EUAD to go all-in on RNMBY. Currently up about 60% on that money, which amounts to everything I have except my 401k and emergency fund. I've started buying VOO again with my paychecks since I'm not entirely certain RNMBY will continue to go up at its current rate, and besides that's already 60% of my entire wealth in a single stock. Bought some at 506, some more at 520. My 401k I can't see exact details but I'm up 15% over the year apparently. So again I timed that one pretty well. I'm mostly dealing with all this by wondering what I should do with all the extra money I didn't expect to have.
GLD, PM, and EUAD are the moves ATH's but no tops in sight
why EUAD? cuz France is a supplier for india (rafales planes and idk what else)? who else in EU is supplying either india or pakistan? pakistan gets their stuff from china right?
EUAD & SHLD gonna go crazy tomorrow 
Me, courtesy of GLD and EUAD. Moved a bunch of shit around this morning. Re-arranged the deck chairs on the lifeboat.
Why have I been so obsessed with trying to time the fucking US market in my 401k? God damn EUAD is up 52%, EUFN is up 31% YTD, VOO is down 3.8%. And I'm sitting here getting in and out of VOO like an asshole. All I needed to do to bet against America was buy foreign stocks and chill. Fuuuuuuuuck.
So my portfolio has been green and people keep asking for my advice. Well, here is my advice: Humility is the key that drives the car. I’m so much more humble than everyone else. I walk on Earth like Jesus on the Moon, except I’m in New York. I also buy GLD and EUAD and occasionally pump and dumb VOO.
That's a very poorly diversified portfolio and I don't like that EUAD holds ADRs and not shares. My opinion from the last time I read the EUAD prospectus was that you were probably better off buying the individual ADRs yourself.
Me. I’m in EUAD and am absolutely cooking in that regard.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. I sold a lot of equities from Oct-mid April and bought a gold fund GLD, a short duration US bond fund (SGOV 5 PCT interest), an intl bond fund (BNDX 4 PCT interest). I am buying United Healthcare UNH right now, I bought back some AMZN @ 175 and some European equity EUAD fund and EADS which makes Airbus planes. Ticker is probably EADSY. I started selling because of Buffet, so I sold 50 PCT of my AMZN at 210. It then rose to 240 I think. I am also thinking about buying a rare book, ie a collectible, but that would be a new direction.
I'm just so fucking tired. I might as well just buy the entire market cap weighted and just pray that it works out. My only individual holdings left are GOOGL and MSFT. My unrealized gains are stupid on those stocks. I have EUAD as well and have made about 10% since the inauguration
\+1 for EUAD, up 13% in two months.
Ah ha! Found a way to bet against America and still make money off this bullshit. EUAD. Suck it, bulls.
75% EUAD euro defense index 25% TSM chips I went to this when tariffs were announced. It’s holding flat since then
My portfolio looks great rn but I have remind myself that a massive amount of that is due to my EUAD stockpile I got at like $29.
I am not buying, individual shares are always risky. I would buy the EUAD ETF instead as it gives you broad exposure. I also believe that Rheinmetall will keep going higher, but I am advising a relative to sell 25 PCT of their shares when the ADR hits 400.
EUAD was the real GLD all along
EUAD is 20% Airbus. Great job, Donnie!
Grabbing some EUAD before that clusterfuck presser with Zelenskyy was one of the best intuitive impulse buys I've made, seriously.
It already did starting in January. Into Europe defense and aerospace. See Select STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defense ETF BATS: EUAD This was a direct result of POTUS doing the stupidest geopolitics in all of recorded history. Abandoning dozens of alliances that have been built over decades is going to have devastating costs to the US defense industry. And that’s not even factoring the world’s dumbest tariffs.
I'm about 2% invested in EUAD (European aerospace and defense) in my portfolio. It's been an outperformer for me for the last 3 months.
What is your take now given the EU is investing in building an army and building up its arms industry? FINMY, the Leonardo SPA's ADR, has done alright but I think long-term Leonardo has good growth potential due to its current share value and its expected profitability increase for guns, helicopters, and I believe naval upgrade orders. Supposedly Leonardo is poised to increase its profitability by a lot, but I could be wrong. I'm toying with EUAD (EU Defense ETF), KDEF (Korean Defense ETF), and PPA (US Defense ETF), since I think the military will be invested in more across the board longer-term. I'm aware of the Korean Stock Market being a scam so I don't have a lot in KDEF, but I'm bullish on defense.
It’s not typical for most investors, especially if you are DIY (don’t actually trade via a flesh and blood broker that you know by name). Tons of foreign companies listed on our exchanges so the path of least resistance is to get international exposure that way. But I’m sure it’s pretty easy to open a global account within in one of my brokerages. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to it fast enough to buy EUAD in January when our administration decided abandon 80 year old military alliances.
12 months is my thinking. Most of it in diversified cash equivalents (SGOV, IGOV, FXF, IBIT, HYSA). If I’m wrong and the market rips then my 401k will benefit - I have made no change there. Taxable accounts are completely defensive right not. My only “play” currently is EUAD. Otherwise I’m out of equities entirely outside of retirement accounts.
At this point the market's just off to Neverland just build a cash position and go for GLD/EUAD/VTSAX
I’m kicking myself I didn’t buy more on Liberation Day. EUAD got pulled down with everything else and snapped back up within a week
Glad I bought EUAD. European defense stocks will continue to benefit as the US distances itself from Ukraine.
You're basically saying the next 3-5 years will be like the last 3-5 years. While it might be, the future could also be different than the past. For example, SOXX semi conductor ETF, rode the AI bull market, up 150% from October 2022 to July 2024. It's down 32% since then, mostly over tariff uncertainty as semi conductors will probably be very affected by tariffs. Do you think the next years are going to be the same as the past or is there a new environment that will produce different outcomes? For example EUAD, Europen defense, hadn't done very well until the past few months when EU countries started to pledge more defense spending, so is it's past performance related to the future?
Where I am buying, or looking at are foreign stocks or ETFs. SPY is down about 5% YTD. EWJV, a Japan ETF, up about 6% YTD. FXI, large cap China ETF, up 17%. EUAD, Euro Defense, up 38% YTD. To me it says things might be more stable overseas, and bigger money is leaving the US or not going into the US right now like the past. Also, to an extent less volatile. Some saw a notable drop during a big sell off, but recovered quickly.
Yeah but everyone loses in a trade war… to what degree we will have to see. As the dollar loses trust, it has no heir apparent, any fiat currency to take its place has decades worth of trust to build with solid stable trade policy…in the meantime I thin gold is the place holder. That being said, INDA to hold low PE for the rupee sounds good, if Canada takes further steps to decouple from the US, maybe EWC is a good proxy for CAD, EWJ for the yen…for the euro EUAD would not just be euro but specifically aerospace which sounds better than a pure currency hedge.
Wish I had bought $EUAD in January,
DFIV is interesting. I made a play into EUAD, but it is a little volatile. I wanted exposure to European defense.
