Will the US Stock market continue to provide exceptional returns? If you had invested in the German or Russian markets decades ago, you wouldn't have made much gains at all. https://www.bridgewater.com/research-and-insights/geographic-diversification-can-be-a-lifesaver-yet-most-portfolios-are-highly-geographically-concentrated https://www.bridgewater.com/research-and-insights/geographic...
- zhdc1 6y agoThe S&P500 is surprisingly diversified, simply because most of the companies are large enough to operate globally.
- RhysU 6y agoI like to think of buying the S&P500 as going long Western Capitalism. If that craters, one has bigger problems than one's portfolio.
- chki 6y ago> If you had invested in the German or Russian markets decades ago, you wouldn't have made much gains at all. Is that actually true? I just tried to find out what would have happened if you invested in the German DAX 30 years ago and apparently you would have had an 800% return on investment, approximately 7.5% annualized. Seems pretty good to me.
- finolex1 6y agoTrue, I guess I was speaking on an even longer time horizon.
