Thanks for your reply!
The reason I'm saying that it's because it's much harder to find the good companies at good valuations for the following reasons:
- Many US bloggers with analyses on US Stocks, not many in Europe
- European companies don't have a long history of dividend payments
- European companies cut dividend faster than the American counterparts
It's probably me, but I have a hard time finding good companies against good value.
I do have a couple of companies, but they are overvalues in my opinion at the moment. For example:
- Unilever
- l'Oreal
Than there is Shell, but I'm hesitant to invest in oil. Cylclical, bigger risks, doesn't feel right...
Like I said, it's probably me, but most companies I do find only have a history of 5 to 10 years max and almost all of them have cut the dividend or kept it the same in that period for at least one of those years. US stocks just look like a better deal.
