EU never actually recovered from 2008 (or grew beyond 2008 levels anyways), so idk what they going to do now

1/5 of italy (about 30% of their economy) is on lockdown, and markets just opened from the weekend when it was announced

and to top it off, oil wars just restarted, the Russia-OPEC truce is now dead, petrolium products in general are in a (short term?) race to the bottom

basically kicking the can economically speaking since 2008 isnt working anymore (EU never really recovered either, poor fools)

Robinhood, like

said

its free, and no commission costs, but its shit and buggy
good if you only have 4 figures to invest (and have an American Social security number), but its shit if you have more money to invest with

use it for swing trades and long holds, if you try to day trade (with market buys/market sells) Robinhood will scalp your shit until you are negative

>Also, 10 years is not sufficiently long-term for me personally.
ill concede to that, since im too lazy to look back any more

but if you want to own a diverse array of stocks from the worlds markets, about 50% of those stocks are going to be american stocks

its a rigged game, you cant have diverse world stocks without including american stocks
owning stocks from every market in the world besides the US means you handicap yourself from 50% of the worlds stocks, so is it truly considered diverse then? can you be diverse without half of the worlds stocks?

basic theory does say that diversification means less risk, but diversification without american stocks is not true "diversity"

if youre losing the game do you complain about the rules? no, you get good, whatever it takes

world is not > US in the long term, since half of the world IS the US (as far as stock markets is concerned)

either play by the rules, or get reckd scrub

doesnt make their bitching any less valid

by that logic it could be up to $3k a share in 6 months too
volatility is not a one way street
but go ahead and stay salty that you didnt buy in sooner

and friendly reminder that if AMZN ever splits their stocks, they will see a 10% or more bump in one day, because small specs will rush to buy in
if they 10:1 split at $2000 would mean those shares worth $200 a piece would easily rise $50 within a week, vastly expanding AMZN's market cap

the rest of the world still hasnt recovered from 2008
