Is Europe becoming uninvestable?

[Spekulatius]

I think European stocks will outperform US stocks this year. The Euro will outperform the USD.

 

Reason: too cheap, chance of political change is not priced in.

Sir the prognosis for the euro doesn't look good. Euro may still be expensive given the EU economy.

The inflation rate in Europe is lower again than in the USD. Purchase power matters.

If you ever go to Europe , you will notice how inexpensive it is. Same for Japan.

I’ve lived here all my life, nearly every expert and political opinion here in the UK is unanimous- we have a growth problem - and we would love to have the US’s economy.

 

 

Apparently, it's been extremely dark times for the US economy over the last 4 years...you sure you want it?  Things have been about as bad as humanly possible in the U.S...people getting stabbed, shot, raped, murdered...almost like Haiti or the Congo!  Censorship has been rampant, weaponization of the justice department, every child I know has been given testosterone blockers, dogs falling in love with cats, the Rock hating on Vin Diesel, hell opening up in the Pacific Palisades swallowing up all of the gay, God-hating powerbrokers of Hollywood...it's been just awful!  You can't even get a decent donut anymore or french fries cooked in beef tallow!  Cheers!

Has anyone wondered what the impact would be if Europe and Canada diverted all the funds allocated to these dumb ass climate and diversity programs and instead put them to work in useful ways? Folks complain about Trump targeting these countries, but the truth is that everyone, including the US, have seemingly been resting on their laurels for the better part of the last decade. If everyone simply gets back to basics and stops the virtue signaling I can’t help but think this would be incredibly positive for productivity.

Just a joke Sweet...nothing to do with you and more about how politicians of all stripes and color suck! 

 

I'm not sure how any of them wake up each morning and then spew the crap that they do...Dems and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives!  Almost all are liars, cheats, scoundrels and hypocrites.  Power corrupts absolutely! 

 

Soon Oprah will be giving away pardons...you get a pardon, you get a pardon, you get a pardon!  Cheers!

For or against Blake?  Vegetable oil or beef tallow.  Choose your side!    Cheers!

I spent a while writing out a long post on the now deleted forum that I was really quite proud of. When I went to post it, a message awaiting me said that the forum was now gone, just as well as my post. This is my punishment for bringing up politics. Anyways, the post was supposed to be a reply to @Gregmal concerning the Fed. Sorry Greg but here's a shorter version:

 

- J. Powell is a hero and I don't think any of this is his fault

- Long-term financing markets are screwed up

- Our presidents and congressmen are behaving like morons, especially concerning economics

 

Good night everyone.

The next 4 years can be very good years, but they can also be very bad years.

 

We´ll see.

Protector Forsikring ASA has its own separate topic here on CofB&F in the Investment Ideas forum here. [I own it.] Your post above belongs there, not here.

Is that how the quote goes?
