  • Yep, I’m European, I had my savings in a world ETF until last week when I pulled them out. Right now, they’d be higher than they were when I sold. Does it hurt a bit? Sure. Do I even consider going back in? Fuck no.

    This kinda volatility is great if you’re a degenerate gambler or have the insider knowledge. I’m neither of these things and I’m in a personal situation where I don’t know when I’m gonna need these funds, ideally it’s in 20/30 years but no guarantees, and also I’m not in a position to keep buying monthly right now and since the last couple of years.

    Now I’m just gonna sit on it for a while, and find ways to park my savings as far from the US as possible, certainly not in a world fund anymore which are 60/70% US exposure.

    Congrats, they successfully pushed me and many like me out of the market so they can keep “the game” to themselves.

  • I’ve watched asmongold a bit on and off over the years, and I don’t think that he himself is really right wing (unless that changed recently), more just a no-filter, full-on basement dweller but mostly apolitical. Can’t say it’s really surprising if some of the audience has the 4chan vibe though. Never participated/cared about the chat or the subreddit though.
