Zero. There are currently no European-headquartered public companies with a market capitalization of $1 trillion or more.

Kind of hard to invest in a place that will be ‘transitioning’ in a decade or so.

The EU’s biggest product is over-regulation by EU and national bureaucracies.

Add in the rapidly increasing Islamization and there is little reason to build a big business there, vs. in the U.S.

[9YearLurker]

The significance of geographically tied ownership and wealth is so quaint as an idea.

[Chickensoup]

I am sure the euros see this as a net positive.

[SmokingJoe]

“The EU’s biggest product is over-regulation by EU and national bureaucracies.”

Yup.
The bureaucrats in Brussels are killing innovation in Europe with their crazy rules.

[SmokingJoe]

Positive for bureaucrats and terrible for entrepreneurs and innovators.

The Antichrist’s empire will rise out of Europe. It will have its capital in Rome. So I would suspect this will change coming up. As America wanes, Europe and the Roman empire will be reborn.

The EU put a priority on protecting existing businesses. They are mostly old school production companies. If you examine the hugely successful American companies, few of them existed at the point where the EU attempted to freeze success by protecting their existing businesses. So, the old school businesses are protected but stuck in time. In the US companies with inefficient business models go bankrupt leaving room for faster, leaner startups that can then grow into a whole new ecological niche that didn’t even exist before they invented it.

Is that why SpaceX alone controls over 50% of rocket launches in the world and over 60% of all satellites circling the earth?

[9YearLurker]

If you think Elon Musk is really “America First”...

[SmokingJoe]

” If you examine the hugely successful American companies, few of them existed at the point where the EU attempted to freeze success”

Yup.
The huge highly successful US companies like Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple etc are all at most at just over 50 years.
SpaceX is under 25 years old.
Hard to believe when you look at how rich and dominant they are.

[Chickensoup]

Exactly. Europe is more like Africa.

Good government jobs.

[SmokingJoe]

He is America first alright.
Plenty of foreign leaders have tried to lure him away including even Macron when they met at New Orleans a few years back.
For the most part most of his investments/innovation have been in America.

There is no Google, Apple or Nvdia without ASML.

[9YearLurker]

So have Peter Thiel’s. Too many don’t recognize the wolf in grandma’s bed.

[SmokingJoe]

Thiel?
Where would he be if he'd stayed in Germany?

[SmokingJoe]

Nonsense!
Apple was founded in 75.
ASML in 84.
So how's “There is no Google, Apple or Nvdia without ASML”?

[9YearLurker]

Or Musk in So. Africa.

[montag813]

Nonsense! Apple was founded in 75. ASML in 84. So how's “There is no Google, Apple or Nvdia without ASML”?

Apple Silicon relies heavily on ASML technology. Apple’s high-performance chips, including the M-series and A-series (iPhone), are manufactured by TSMC using ASML’s most advanced Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines.
