Investors are increasingly souring on the United States, as illustrated by the declining dollar, the stalled stock market and rising government borrowing costs.

    I feel like this was an obvious move back during the first bond scare Trump caused back in early 2025. It’s been clear that people need to protect themselves against Trumps economic policies given how he handled things during his first term.

    Finally my move to ex-USA ETFs is paying off. After the first trade war moves and no reaction from democrats I decided that maybe all the money doesn’t flow through NYC in 10 years.

    This dumbass didn’t hold onto the European defense ETFs though.

      I’d only invest in total world ETFs, but specifically investing in foreign ones (so a “manual” split between US and non-US) in non tax advantaged accounts gives a minor tax credit.

      Oh you mean how the whole stock market is propped up by the earnings of 7 companies who are all at earnings highs largely due to suddenly having revenue from Tariffs that forced Americans to pay up to 100% more for the enshitified products these companies barely provide?

      Complete mystery as to why nearly every company on the S&P 500 is red except those 7 holding the clown show up. As soon as the bullshit Tariff tax liquidity that was robbed from Americans runs out, that all time high in the start market is going to crater into an all time low. Only thing great in front of America is a depression greater than the last one.
