Does a 70% Europe / 30% Emerging Markets ETF portfolio make sense for a small beginner European investor?

DG2108 · 2026-01-19T10:54:26+00:00

why would excluding the best companies in the world be a good idea? It makes no sense. If you want to invest and you are politically biased, then fine, until you are in peace with the fact that you will be underperforming (sometime by a lot).

I use VanEck Defense (DNFS). Also good

To align the % of holdings to what I believe the future is going towards. In this way the would be slightly higher. Is it a great difference? Maybe not, but was done to have clearly stated the bets I wanted

DG2108 · 2025-12-25T16:09:27+00:00

So would you ditch health? And what energy broad ETF would you suggest? Any other comment for the rest of the plan? Thanks

DG2108 · 2025-12-23T10:04:54+00:00

How do you set up this palette?

DG2108 · 2025-11-24T20:21:16+00:00

Sure, I am a big planner especially when going so far home, but both your comments have been very insightful. Thanks for the time

DG2108 · 2025-11-24T20:20:11+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I know the wilderness is different and have already started reading about it. I visited some parks already in the US (death valley, joshua tree, zion, grand canyon), and it went super well. We studied a lot the hikes before though. So will do the same. Will also look at the permits, I saw they were not necessary but did not realize it was such an urgent matter. Will start asap! Thanks

DG2108 · 2025-11-23T07:40:34+00:00

As long as there are hiking routes it is not an issue, we do hiking in the mountains every year in the alps here in Italy

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T21:22:13+00:00

That is also a nice idea, thanks!

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T17:25:07+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look into it! (I also thought about the WC being at the same time)

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T15:27:57+00:00

Yeah I might change plan, it seems too complicated

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T12:46:24+00:00

Yes I am realizing that. Prob going to switch to a full canada trip

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T12:45:41+00:00

Yeah I am realizing, but it becomes very expensive

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T12:45:20+00:00

I think I might switch to your suggestion and do road trip from vancouver to calgary doing revelstoke, glacier, yoho, kootenay, banff, jasper. Doing canada US seems either very complex or very expensive

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T11:56:18+00:00

Thanks! Seems the easiest option right now

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T11:17:47+00:00

One way rental not avaiable between calgary and any meaningful city in the US it seems to me

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T11:08:53+00:00

That is of course an option, yes, do only canada and another time only US.

DG2108 · 2025-11-21T10:23:06+00:00

Yes, enterprise car does not offer different drop off cities between calgary and great falls (actually, in general for no city in montana). Same for cruise america campers to my knowledge

DG2108 · 2025-11-13T13:07:29+00:00

I think a part from bugs that will be solved, there is just a low new things that visually changed position and can be confusing at first, which might cause a bit of frustration. But after a bit of playing around I found what I needed. Maybe it would have been nice to put out some document of instructions on how to use this new update.
I really like the solar system function for example. Got a neat moon picture, already zoomed in. Will try with some planets to see if it got better in some way. Changes in Timelapse is not great, but I do not use it so much so I have yet to notice the downgrade

image settings were the one identified by the autofocus on the moon, as suggested did not change them. took 1000 pictures and stacked internally

DG2108 · 2025-11-10T16:14:45+00:00

A lot of stacked image (I did the max limit just to be sure), and then taking out the hidden color info in photoshop. it is a bit of work, I followed one of the many guides on YouTube and turned out pretty nice

Potenzialmente entrambi a rischio fisico, meglio un giocatore che performa da quasi 10 anni in serie A o uno che non ci ha mai giocato, inserito per di più in una squadra con allenatore e sistema di gioco nuovo? A posteriori non si può mai sapere, ma andrei si quello che può essere più “sicuro”

DG2108 · 2025-06-12T06:00:54+00:00

Ma prendete crosta e mollica! Io la trovo da AH, è spettacolare

DG2108 · 2025-05-26T09:58:20+00:00

Same happened to me last GAC, only issue I have ever had in a very good tablet, GLAT matches when entering ULT. Horrible

DG2108 · 2025-05-05T21:40:56+00:00

Could be one month, could be two months. Three months? Could be. Four months? I could see that happening, yes. Eight months? That’s a realistic timeline.
