@trader_385 After moving to Switzerland, I started investing in Switzerland only (CHF). Somehow I didn't want Europe completely and opted for the EMU. And that simply meant that too many good, globally active companies were out - Shell, AstraZeneca, Glaxo, RioTinto, Glencore, Diaego, Reckitt, RollsRoyce ... You can also cover the commodities sector with them.
And whether there is above-average potential now, who knows. But I believe that after leaving the EU and the economic difficulties, there is plenty of room for improvement. There has already been a lot of catching up in recent months. Somehow, the market has been running a little in the shadows, with little news compared to the US/EURO/emerging markets. Above all, BigTech is then also reaching companies that use the products, become more efficient and earn better. This may particularly help the heavyweights, not only in the FTSE. The weak pound also provides a little boost, earning money abroad is more worthwhile.
And yes, the dividend also plays a role, of course. I am satisfied 🙃
@trader_385 I think the election result has already been calculated. The question for me is rather how the Social Democrats will deal with the issue of taxes. So far there doesn't seem to be any big surprise planned, at least from what you can read. But we'll see.
"Labour will handle the UK economy and defense in a sensible way." We have to believe something first 😉
