    Great time to travel to Europe… or look at their stocks

    OK - everyone stop watching your mates Instagram European Vacation stories and let's focus on some potential European investing opportunities.

DEMZ, the democratic large-cap core fund only includes companies that have made over 75% of their contributions to the democrats and causes. But enough of that ... back to the news. The Euro and US Dollar hit parity so Alec and Bryce discuss the European opportunities for us here in Australia (and the US) - and it's not all about a Greek Island holiday!
