Are there any tools/apps whatever where I can invest money into EU or Asia? If anyone is familiar I'd appreciate it. There's something about keeping all my funds in US investments that doesn't sit well with me right now 😂

The broker you use currently should have european index funds / ETFs too, or does it not? I've always heard that some EU people use that one american broker I can't remember right now, and they invest in local companies just fine, but I think it depends on the broker!

I was considering this also, but then it being a US based company made me question it. Which is probably looking into it too much tbh, but it got me curious enough to see what my European friends do.

The stock market and the dollar itself is american, so sadly you can not completely escape the US either way US sadly, but I understand what you mean! I just remembered: It was IBKR ("Interactive Brokers") that ppl. used for good access to international stocks - but is also US-based AFAIK.

In Germany, when you used (got a bit better) brokers here, they often mostly offer german stocks and/or only the most popular international stocks/indexes (for example they might have the S&P500, Nvidia, Apple & other popular stocks, but not even close to most other american tickers).

Thank you for looking into it ☺️ I may be stuck unless I look at gold/silver, but it doesn't hurt to ask and find out. Just really weird times we live in and I'm hoping to be at least a little prepared.
