I'm a lot like you, the large majority of my stocks are either from the USA or Canada. I've been trying to sneak some European ones in, but so far with very little success. I just don't see Europe being in a good position to have large and succesful companies, there are so many rules®ulations and in most countries the high taxes are also an issue... couple that with a very poor economic growth and I don't really see Europe as a good place to be for companies.
What does bother me a little about our way of doing things is: income is in another currency than the one we are using for everyday expenses. So that brings a lot of fluctuation... and the EUR/USD exchange rate has been making quite large moves so it does bring in a lot of uncertainty.
