Schwedens größter Pensionsfonds wirft US-Anleihen im Wert von 8,8 Milliarden US-Dollar ab | der tiefe Tauchgang

This has been posted several times already 

This “news” happened a few days ago right?

Because posting about “the first domino” falling loses alot of its luster when people keep posting the same “domino” over and over as if it were a new development.

Why are only the Scandinavian nations in Europe taking real progressive steps away from the US products, services, and investments?

All this talk of coming up with ideas on how to encourage private European funds to dump US treasuries. Far easier to accept funds will always act selfishly and remove any hurdles pretending them from selling.

Besides commodities like gold and silver there doesn’t seem like too many viable alternatives however.

And what are they investing in?

The turbulence in the Bond Market and Stock Market have definitely played some role in deterring Trump’s hostile rhetoric against EU .

Get out while you can

Trump helped EU, India, Canada, China and other countries to open their eyes and reevaluate their investment choices.

Good for them. The values of those US Bonds has depreaciated with 22% because of currency fluctuations:

So it begins

So right now I’m opening a pension fund in EU (live in Italy) which should be 100% stocks for 30+ years. However, I do know that up until now they invest about 70% in EU stocks

Should I hold out and wait? Or it’s actually convenient opening it now, as stock prices might be decreasing?

Well done Sweden, plenty of other places to invest in
