Sell program seems to be nowdays dominating trend, perhaps this summer is not going be as silent as year ago was (which was dead boring anyway).
US Dollar raises a few interesting questions when looking these things from here europe, because for instance when holding stocktrading account in United States to own US stocks it does not actually make much % change even if market comes down because US dollar rally so much. Unfortunately same works for another direction also.
Some of colleagues has even bought Godlman after it took it´s first big shock movement down plus some another sudden “crash indidents” stocks. Dollar rally makes them very neutral and takes capital gain away but at the same time it protects it.
The worse scenario is to own EU stocks, market index might come down -3% but that´s nothing yet compared what kind of damage deep blue sea euro is doing for your euro based stocktrading account.
To seek actual capital gain and not only yieldings is to use some short of leverage as danger as it might sound for more concervative investors. Nor wonder why those ETF´s are so popular nowdays.
