Dax p/e ratio much higher than the ftse 100 - does that make it better.
I prefer to buy stock at much better valuations.
SC - and others
I have also mentioned before that the ftse 100 index is not calculated in the same way as all other stock market indices so a comparison is nonsense, when taking account of such index calculation and numbers and composition .
For example the DAX is a TOTAL RETURNS INDEX taking account of dividend yields

''FTSE100 10% + rise......... abysmal performance when compared with its international peers over the corresponding time period.''
what did you not understand when i pointed out pre and post referendum comparisons of the ftse after you posting nonsense about the referendum being responsible?
Now you want to change tack, because you realise want you posted was garbage.
The 100 companies that make up the ftse cannot be compared in composition to the just 40 companies that make up the Dax and Cac.
As any investor should know concentrating on fewer companies would increase the risk reward ratio in comparison to a much larger portfolio.
I cannot understand why many complain about our market being cheap - others like myself should have made full use of the fact over the years.
Before the referendum the ftse 100 was at about the same level as 16 years before.
since the referendum the ftse is up 10% +
SC
'' since the Brexit Referendum ''
ffs - give it a rest and at the same time THINK
Not for me - as we know, currently doesn't make money. Appears to be plenty of punters around placing their bets on a different future.

''If Shell quits London''
I imagine at this stage, he was simply highlighting how cheaply investors can pick up UK stocks for - SHELL are certainly making the most of a low valuation, as is Lloyds Banking Group.

''Having said that, Shell today is only about -10% undervalued compared ''
that is a matter of opinion, but the fact is as I posted on the Shell board, the current market cap is about 30% blow that of about 6 years ago

the only route is to sell and repurchase within the ISA - you need to contact them as to whether they have a fast efficient mechanism set up available to you.
Can be expensive waiting for a crash in a market that is still cheap - what I posted on the SHELL board -
" I have a location that clearly seems to be undervalued,” he added.
He said Shell's current undervaluation presented "a fantastic investment opportunity".
“I will keep buying back those shares, and buying back those shares at a discount," he added.

''A 0.25 % cut is not going to mean inflation will come roaring back , but the effect on the UK economy will be vast.''
There is a danger in cutting base rates too soon. The economy appears to be doing OK at the current level of base rate.
It is a possibility that the base rate could be decreased from the current level this year , but will be a lot less than the many cuts that some were anticipating 6 months ago.
Base rates will be data dependant.
Based on the current number of shares in the market, the share price would have to go up about 30% to reach the market cap of about 6 years ago.
Market cap is still way below the level of about 6 years ago

''20 yr return +75%''
that's good - about the same time as I have been invested in Vodafone , although I never include dividends as part of a capital position. So my current capital position is that I would need a little rise from the current share price to get to an average share price.
I do not have a separate record for the Verizon - I can only assume that they had an automatic sell option for Verizon shares? the proceeds of which were amalgamated in my total capital returns figure that i used in my Vodafone records at the time when shares were also consolidated
