LET’S FUCKING GOOO
heavy insistence on this mechanism was how smallest (liberatian-ish) party of last coalition iirc limited defense spending including military aid to Ukraine. in last elections they fell under electoral threshold and have no seats in bundestag at all, rip bozo, you won’t be missed
If I remember correctly, this js also why DB is in such a shit condition, it needs a LOT of investment, but the government couldn’t raise debt to pay it off over time.
were there people advocating for privatizing DB?
Always have been, DB is technically a for profit open capital company, but 100% of its shares are owned by the government (thats why its called Deutsche Bahn A.G., the ag stands for “share company”). It used to be a normal governmental body but was made that to privatize it later, something that never happened. Most Germans I know would rather take DB back than privatize it.
A robust Europe that could be more assertive on the world stage is good for the world in the long run. I say that as an American. Best of luck to the Germans, EU as a whole, the UK, and everyone else in the region.
Started investing in European stocks via mutual funds since last week. Let’s gooooo🚀🚀🚀🌕
Which ones do you like for the next five years or so?
It’s through a mutual fund so it’s more a case of what the fund managers like for next 5 years.
Anyway, their portfolio seems like European heavyweights. Shell, SAP, Barclay’s, AstraZeneca, Allianz etc. That’s generally the case with developed markets. You’re rarely going to beat the index.
Scroll down to portfolio to see.
And whatever returns I or other investors will get will be affected by Euro-Rupee rate. Seems like Euro will keep getting stronger over time.
Oh btw, I’m investing equivalent of 20 or so Euros per month. Might increase to 30 Euros once I get salary hike.
Thanks, gives me something to think about. I’m using my US-based brokerage so I’ll have to figure something else out. Cheers
They’ll have to make sure to skim wealth from the top and get it to the people at the bottom of they want to keep voters away from the far right.
Unlikely with Black Rock Merz being in charge
The people of northern Europe, you have your shit together! Can you influence the rest of Europe (only slightly) and teach the rest of the world how you do it? I think we really need healthy dose of European influence right about now!! Thank you! ♥️
