1. Good. Investment of this kind is beneficial.

2. The freaks "boosting" private investments with 25% capital gains tax! The only way for prosperity is Oma Ursula to resign!

3. Excellent! Very late (although to be fair that's largely to do with everything else that's been going on). Great step forward at least.

4. Get ready for MORE WORDS!!!!! Words like you've never heard before. It's gonna be beautiful words, the most comforting words you've ever heard

5. Ive heard of this for a while now. In the UK we have ISAs which are tax free savings which are capped. Many, many people have them. If a European centric or even UK one was to appear with competitive rates that money would go there quick. I for one am looking at the investments I have in such accounts to restrict any stocks in non EU/AU/NZ/Can/UK. For many investors with 'serious' money they will need more incentive than 'its the right thing to do' many will but more wont. The ISA system is set up in the UK in such a way I can, from a regular bank account, set them up myself on line with an auto approval/refusal. It takes about 3 minutes.

6. European Comission: please stop making things more and more complicated. Please, take some holidays. We, the tax payers, will pay you for doing nothing, just leave us alone.

7. Eu wants to steal your money 😮

8. It must be as easy as possible for European companies to sell, invest, and raise capital across the whole single market

9. Best of luck with that one 😂 the life boats have already been launched.

10. Create a common EU Capital market not national stock exchanges. This is the only way for Europeans to invest in best European stocks & achieve benefits of scale. Best companies will flourish & make EU more innovative & competitive

11. Does the European Commission (EC) think that the 10 trillion euros are just sitting around in neat piles in bank vaults? The funds are tied up in loans and mortgages. Pulling 10 trillion euros out of EU banks would collapse the banking system. Up to 100,000 euros in deposits are guaranteed against loss. Will the new investments also come with a guarantee? Are there any adults on the EC?

12. Ursula wants to put their hands on European savings, poor people they have a band of white collar thiefs playing with their future, but their are to blame 😂

13. Good. Better than the shitshow that is the USA and Russia. Not surprising you have schmucks in the comments here saying that the EU is gonna talk 'all your money' or that they're being taxed excessively; they're likely the ultra wealthy whinging about their oh so delicate profit margins being hit. This isn't 2022 anymore. Ask Trump why Europe's doing this.

14. They’re setting up the investors for a fall. They will push for compulsory funds (pensions) and structured products (tax wrappers) to invest in war and globalist ideas /plan (money laundering). They just need investors to transfer funds from their liquid bank accounts out of their own choice first. Looks to see what South Africa is doing with the Health Funding NHI atm. Same plan

15. I'm not sure if it's the same across Europe, but in the UK is seems as soon as a company is doing well, it's bought by an American giant.

16. FINALLY!!! Europe is waking up, this is a huge step forward towards using European money for growing the European economy and not for financing the americans with the treasure bonds and stocks

17. I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated!!!

18. Capital gains tax: Y/N ?

19. Thanks for sharing.

20. it is easy to solve practically ( European Federation based on a Swiss model ) but it seems to be extreme hard emotionally for many people. We are only as smart as our emotions allow us to be.

21. You want to steal russia access. Now you talk about capital market. How do we trust the faith of european finencial market???
    😂😂😂😂😂

22. Don't touch my trillions!

23. What the EU needs to do is to do is to introduce legislation that truly accomplish what the single market was meant for in the first place

24. Give me a state guarantee on up to 100k investment and guarantee 4% yearly profit like my bank does on my deposit with 100% liquidity and I will invest in european companies all day long.
    The problem is; the stock market is not competitive in terms of profit margin + safety.

25. It would be good if we get more dividend paying stocks.
    I think a lot more people would put their "nest egg?" in such stocks/funds.

    The good thing about for example the dutch wonderfull pension system is that personal savings are not as necessary and are usually just a bit extra. The bad thing is that people are lazy when it comes to investing

26. I believe the mode working for US is unrepeatable, Europe has to find the way working for them

27. This is overdue, hurry up! Eu don’t drag your feet in endless discussions and consultations, act !

28. So we want our very own Trumps and Musks? I don't think so. Europeans are historically risk-averse and prefer to work for our money.

29. Yep, lets follow the American model. Looking pretty good 👍🏻 Tax wealth not work

30. 😂😂😂 Trump… what a total disaster. He destroyed the only continent in the world with Canada who stands for democracy… great job Trump.

31. How about stop sending so much money out of the EU, especially for software for which there are gratis alternatives???
    Start moving immediately towards Linux, LibreOffice, NextCloud and other products made by KDE!

32. When will jobs be moved from London to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, etc? London doesn't seem to be affected as much even though EU is larger market

33. Haha, definitely unelected EU birocrats will convince shrude investors to reconsider their hard earned capital to be redirected to their stagnating economy

34. Colonizers have been colonized by the USA 🤣🤣🤣Europe have no natural resources & no colonies left to steal from, good luck finding the money or printing it.

35. Sold all my US stocks because evil and dirty. Now I have all these savings and no idea where to put ‘em.

36. Investors are looking for alternatives to US. If EU gets it right, they will soar up, eu economy is 10x more robust than the US

37. free movement for capital, restrictions for people…sigh

38. Unicredit should buy comdirect bank from Germany, we need a big european bank. Germany lobbying against this, shows the first problem

39. Do not steal our european money…

40. While the gravity on Mars (about 38% of Earth's) is lower than what humans are accustomed to, it's not considered "bad" or "not good enough" in the sense of being uninhabitable, but it does pose challenges for long-term human health and potentially reproduction. ❤❤❤

41. "Bio fuel rockets" sounds like subsidy capitalism

42. Europeans barely invest in EU companies because their growth is very slow compared to the US companies. And the growth of the EU companies are held back by the EU regulations, take AI as an example. Not to mention high company taxes and high labor costs.
    I'm not saying it's bad. It's just a different system that we have here in the EU. Everything in the EU is regulated first before innovations can thrive. And due to the socialistic nature of the EU, it's just impossible to compete with capitalist countries such as the US and countries that highly subsidize their industries and have low labor costs such as China. And that is okay if we are not the number one at it. It's more important to have a sustainable growth.

43. We are slow to grow because of VAT, the only reason why business slow because they get double taxed 20-37% tax plus 20-25VAT. that is the problem, drop VAT boom the economy of small and medium sized business instantly.

44. Bit late for that
