You can invest in 3rd world countries and make a buck, but you never know if a new dictator will come and crash the economy. Very high risk is invovled in investing in shitholes. Realistically, if you want a solid long term investment, you want something that is stable, and will give you money. The US market sounds like it.
>omg anon, you can't bet only on the US market, you have to diversify and invest in international stocks too!!! Member 2008??
Fuck you.
In may 2008, months before the recession, VTI was valued at 70.11, while in march 2009 (lowest point of the recession), it got to 34.11. wow, so much for the american economy amirite lads? Surely eurofags and chinks are better than this. Let's see the same values for VEA (euro+asia). In may 2008 it was at 46.56, and in march 2009 it go to 19.97. Wow, it's the same fucking thing, hell, it's even worse.
>Well anon, you don't know what the future holds, it's better to be diversified even though you just showed me it does not change a damn thing if a recession hits
Wrong again kiddo, the US is simply way more profitable than everyone else.
Let's compare the recent (last 5 years) performance of VTI (us stocks), VEA (europe and asia), and VXUS (literally everyone else BUT the united states)
5 years ago VXUS was at 46.02, today it is at 48.56. Wow, a 5% growth in 5 years??? Such a fucking solid investment. LOL how can the inflation rate even compete????
VEA five years ago was at 33.95, today it stands at 38.47. wow, 13% in 5 years. LMAO, US fags BTFO, how will they ever recover. EU > NA confirmed XdddDDD
k, let's see how the burgers performed
VTI 5 years ago was at 70.60. Today it is at 122.25. What??? only a 73.15% increase in 5 years??? LMAOOOO, burgers are so dumb LMAO
In all seriousness, this "diversification" meme has to stop. If you invest in a US ETF you're already as diversified as it gets. If the US economy crashes, the world crashes even harder. Don't waste your money in less performing economies.
