That is interesting. It makes sense from when I used to go business trips to our European offices (mainly in Frankfurt & Bern). I never heard anyone on my trips talk about starting new companies.
Europe's different from region to region. For example Scandinavia compared to Greece is radically different. Technically both Europe but culturally similarities are thin. Where I'm from it's typical than someone has at least one company, I know a few serial entrepreneurs with 5-6 small businesses.
@d08 funny guy obviously doesn't know TMT single names yet keeps arguing what is universally known.[/QUOTE] Guess you already forgot your initial sentence. You said "there are no hi-tech stocks in Europe". Now you're arguing that there are. Your definitions are all over the place, at one point it's the technology, then it's growth. High-tech doesn't imply rapid growth. You can make cutting edge tech with slow demand growth. Why ARKK exists in US because many of the listings are in US - EU tech companies have US listings, so the EU money is also trading in US.
say what you wish. I wouldn't bother to waste time on you if it's not we had a conversation before. Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
