Spain. $EWP. Also pretty much any other developed nation stock index.

It’s the new flight to safety after gold.

Why Spain?

Who knows. But thats the country up the most last year.

Ah yes, the good old investment advice: if a stock has been going up, it’s time to buy.

Good luck with that strategy.

Oh and what’s your strategy Mr. Buffet?

For one, Mr Buffet coined the aphorism “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful” and here you are suggesting the literal opposite.

I don’t think one year of outperformance counts as greed. There’s a reason I didn’t recommend gold.

I heard this about NVDA in 2020 and 2021 and 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and 2025 and now 2026… if the stock is going up it is 100% time to buy if you know what the F you are doing. if you don’t know what you are doing then you sell when the stock is going up :)

If you know what you are doing, you do not rely on external random and irrational signals like market price.

Also, past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Hindsight is always 20/20.

> you do not rely on external random and irrational signals like market price.

I don’t, but too many people do :)
