Curious, why would you want to invest in Europe at all? For awhile now I've seen Europe as the past, and Asia as the future.

- gumby 7y agoEurope has a rich diversified economy with the rule of law, strong reporting etc. Asia has economies that respect the rule of law (e.g. sg, kr, several others) but they are small. There are also some large economies (China, India) but they lack much transparency and especially in the case of China obscure manipulation and heavy government participation. Japan of course is the exception (large economy, good governance, good reporting etc) but is less of a growth prospect. These aren't reasons to put all your money in Europe and none in Asia. I also don't mean to challenge your statement that Europe is the past and Asia the future. But there are good reasons for some people to choose to invest in Europe even if they don't live there.

- ginko 7y agoYeah, why would you want to support your own economy rather than someone else's?
- anm89 7y agoYour 5-7 figures are a margin of error of a margin of error (maybe a few more of these?) of a global financial market. All you are supporting is your ego.
- dawhizkid 7y agoI don’t think buying some stock from Euro-based companies constitutes as “supporting your own economy.” If that’s your goal, then I’d argue buying Euro bonds would be closer to that, though many have negative interest rates at the moment.
