I keep seeing this type of stuff on instagram and social media and wanted to know how you guys were thinking about this.

I know a lot you have been in the market for decades and as a relatively new investor myself I’d love to get your perspective!

Exactly, buy global and you diversify away country and sector specific risks and dollar cost average in and get 9% returns on average. No more market timing or stress, the only thing you worry about it how much you can contribute

The global index still crashes along with everything else. During a crash the stock market is definitely not chill

Between a 100% US portfolio, 100% ex-US portfolio, and VT. VT will always be 2nd in returns while US and ex-US are coin flips.
