Twice as attractive! A drawdown for no fundamental reason - just panic and speculation that companies will suddenly earn less? I don't see it. Added to this is a stronger euro $965275 (-0.86%)which makes entry into US equities even more favorable. An opportunity that should be seized!

Exchange traded companies in my professional everyday life in precious metals and foreign exchange trading:

• Umicore $UMI (-5.44%) (refinery)
• Prosegur $PSG (-2.14%) (security, logistics, cashrecyling)
• Johnson Controls $JCI (-6.4%) (security)
• Swiss National Bank $SNBN (-0.28%) (foreign exchange trading)
• National Bank of Japan $8301 (foreign exchange trading)
• FedEx $FDX (-2.07%) (logistics)

• Cancom $COK (-2.79%) (IT system house)
• Kyocera $6971 (-3.2%) (printer and scan hardware)
• Alphabet $GOOGL (-2.74%) (Who doesn't know it...?, research)

Naturally, I still have to do with various things which are traded on the stock exchange, but are not companies... these include: $965515 (-1.46%) (gold), $965310 (-6.27%) (silver), platinum and the various currency pairs like $965275 (-0.86%) (EUR/USD) but also all other currencies (AUD, NOK, GBP, JPN, SEK, PLN, CZK, SAR, etc. etc. etc.). Subordinately, we also have to deal with $BTC (-0.77%) (Bitcoin), although it is rather negligible.

In our other parts of the company we also deal with $UHR (-4.46%) (SwatchGroup).

What strikes me personally when I look at my professional environment:

There are dozens of companies in this sector, which are not traded on the stock exchange. Among them are some refineries (partly huge company constructs), service providers and luxury goods manufacturers. Also in the area of analysis technology (physical), equipment and software, there are some well-known manufacturers who have so far shied away from the stock exchange or are family-run.

In my private environment I have to do of course like each of you with various products and brands. A separate listing should be interesting for the fewest...

But the most extraordinary might be $RI (-3.46%) (Pernod Ricard), which is not least due to one of my hobbies: ABSOLUT VODKA bottles in the various designs and Limiteditions collect.

Basically I nominate all Getquin friendsbut especially @Der_Dividenden_Monteur , @Staatsmann
@Simpson !

In itself, one waits all the time for good buying rates, in U.S. dollars they are also slowly becoming more and more interesting ... but what good is that when the euro is sliding just like the U.S. stock markets? 🤪

Good for dividends and of course it cushions price losses in the portfolio, but if you are on the buy side it is unfortunately very annoying.

I fear that we are still a long way from finding a bottom - and there are no signs of it in my opinion - and that we could possibly even move towards an all-time low in the EUR/USD in the next few months.

I plan to post some of my chart analysis here and look forward to invigorating exchanges. 💯💯

Is it possible to add other currencies to the watchlist?

The euro is currently losing more and more of its value against the US dollar. This is actually not surprising, since the Fed in the U.S. is tightening the interest rate screw and will most likely start reducing its balance sheet soon.

The ECB, on the other hand, continues to adhere to its zero interest rate policy. It's actually understandable that the dollar is getting firmer and firmer.

For investors with a high share of U.S. equities, this is quite nice, since the portfolio increases even if the prices in the home currency remain unchanged. In addition, dividend payments are more generous. But if you want to buy U.S. stocks and don't have any dollars at hand, it's quite expensive.

The U.S. itself does not like the strong dollar either, as it makes exports more expensive.

The question is how to proceed now. Parity, i.e. an exchange rate of 1:1, is still some way off. However, the past has so far always shown that there was a strong bounce when the parity was approached and the euro always increased significantly. I am curious whether it will be the same this time.
