↓ EUR is down to USD by 1% or $2,086  for my portfolio

Observations:

-          Global small cap with 58% exposure to the US is leading the pack, but it also more volatile.

-          EU is slightly more assertive in absence of strong American leadership but it will take them decades before they will be walking again. I expect a correction to EU market within 6-12 months by 10% at least (either to the currency exchange rate or to the stock prices).

-          I keep putting aside about $500 a month, but this is not very representative and it will be reported once a year.
