@pkumom2016 I am all on US and bet on the fact the US will outperform the rest.
Most people you see in VT are just people
Who have no idea and follow the mass - „holy grail culture“.
Which is pure BS.
Why around 99% told me NOT to do that and how the VT is so much better and am
Diversified and and and….I made almost 22% YoY so far.
The thing is:
If you take all into considerstion, the US is better, but has higher highs and lower lows.
Although those HH and LL exists, it still beats everything.
For some people who dont follow the herd like sheep, they will argue: but but but the USd loses value…
Yes true, but the USD would need to lose 5% annually in order to be at VT levels….and hedhing is shown on so many places to be just expensive….
Personally I am in IVV, QQQM and URTH.
Cant complain and I do belive that for the next 20 years the striving power will be the US - especially since companies internationalize and also use other currencies. So please tell me again how this does not look way better as a strategy than a wanna be safety net of VT?
Bonus points:
All these holy grails sayers have no idea in what VT invests…and in ehat for example IVV invests….so there is that. It is much more complex than you think. Furthermore emerging markets have been crap to invest in since forever (with a 0.01% exception). I will gladly leave them out for the gain that is worthless since they are such a small percentage….
