Europe’s very real problems don’t look so bad by comparison

        What about you? What’s your source?

          According to a survey by the European Union, 9% of Europeans said they had invested in shares

          Stocks are not a thing in Europe, generally speaking.

              Probably for using Reddit as a source. Wasn’t me tho, at least you responded.

              The other article mentions ~8% of Europeans and ~15% of Americans invest in stock directly. It’s less common, but not as if no one does it at all, either.

              I do find it funny how my comment was downvoted as well (2 up incl my own, 2 down); I just found it weird that the person making a claim (‘few Europeans invest in stocks’) doesn’t have to provide a source, but rather the person disagreeing is expected to. Maybe that’s a common thing, but it is odd in my opinion. But that could be because I’m young or w/e
