I've sold all my holdings in US companies to instead invest in STOXX Europe 600 alternatives. I know others here in Sweden that have said they have done the same.

In Sweden, Russia has always been the enemy.

My prediction is that France and Germany will soon join the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) and it will be the end of NATO. UK will probably join the Maximator intelligence alliance.

The death of Five Eyes and NATO in 2025 was not on my bingo card. Good luck with your new alliance with the Russians, Americans!



I'm doing the same, about 50% of the way there. The soft power is why the world admired and trusted the US as a safe haven. Now we're the unreliable bully. No one wants to invest in that.


I'm a dual citizen (US, Spain), I moved to Spain 1 year ago. I need to completely divest from the US.


You're still paying taxes.


https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fore...

> If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude your foreign earnings from income up to an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation ($107,600 for 2020, $108,700 for 2021, $112,000 for 2022, and $120,000 for 2023). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.


ehhhh, kinda? the US and Spain have a tax agreement.


Enjoy underperforming the markets


You mean… less financial market performance ? That’s the downside/response to an alliance with Russia?

Whaou.


I meant for selling US companies to invest in European stocks


This is the same thing that the US government is doing for you.

Divesting from the rest of the world by introducing tariffs.

Enjoy!


Except European markets are up while American markets are down since Trump was elected. Especially military industrial stocks.
