(Mod) Look, there was history before you arrived and there will be history after you leave. It doesn't mean the country will fail because of a collection of issues.

We have a difficult 5 years ahead, but then things will restart. Be prudent, invest in things that HAVE to grow over the next 5 years (fertilizers, re-shoring, companies who are building factories in the US etc - they will all grow after this year).

Yeah, my main strategy is still to keep buying mostly US stock markets indexes (like XEQT.to). But I was just trying to start a discussion. What is the 2nd best option (after the US) in term of country that should grow in the next decade+ and where investment are safe (so democratic countries)? There doesn't seem to be any obvious choice is where I was getting at.

I was wondering, how many people here have investments outside of the stock market or real estate ? I'm not talking about art, wine or vintage video game collections (which I have nothing against, my friend made bank through these), but more like minority stakes in businesses or other ventures.

Stocks won't do much as long as gas prices are high. Everything trucked around adds onto inflation. Just higher gas price alone takes money away from average joe

Not me
 
Drove past their new location in Richmond, British Columbia yesterday. They were having test drives for people interested, unfortunately I was working. They are as quiet as a Tesla.

Anyone who has money with kucoin may want to consider getting it out. Rumour is they are facing insolvency.

I find that harder to believe than most other exchanges since they managed through the last collapse. I moved my stuff regardless in case. Thanks for the info.

Public companies are not in control of geopolitics. What's foolish is believing that when it comes to food shortage, demographic collapse etc, Apple as any power at all to change the geopolitics.

History will not repeat itself if most of the manufacturing is in the US, with US labour (that's what happening - but you haven't been paying attention).

Lolol, I usually agree with you SOLR, but I think you’re completely wrong on this one.

I think I know what I'm talking about on this.
Brands affect politics, but not geopolitics as the variables of geopolitics are too big for mere corps to influence.

Demographics
Geography
Political system structure
War decisions

I'm not talking about the accommodations...there are some of that.

No, because Europe will be the biggest loser of the Ukraine situation. Things will get worse for Europe before they get better, fluctuations aside.

I noticed how low Euro was yesterday. Sure it may dip but in long it will trade again for $1.30-$1.50 US

Yes, but how long?

If the war ended tomorrow? I'd say late 2022, worst-case early-to-mid 2023.

If the most-likely scenario of geopolitics plays out, AKA a drawn-out and bogged-down conflict, as seems all but inevitable now, with all its pernicious effects on european (and global) economy, then Euro could take multiple years to recover its strength vs. USD.

With the way things have gone, I expect Euro to fall further by quite a bit before it gets better so maybe wait a little more before buying?

The FOMC rate announcement is this Wednesday, right ? Do you remember how market reacted in the previous FOMC announcements ?
 
Inflation is transitory, relax. People are worried the fed acted too soon and too aggressive and now deflation is on the menu haha. These were the talking points a few weeks to a month ago. Let’s see what happens.

Real world inflation is much greater than the cooked books show at 9.1%. I don’t see a path out of this, I don’t see a soft landing and I think the fed will end up having to stop QT. I think many are underestimating the gravity of the situation. We’re in deep shit.
