That’s the worst time actually. US stock prices have fallen, you would have bought high and sold low.
The US administration will change, Trump won’t stay there forever. If you are investing for the long term, stay the course and enjoy buying low. That’s when the money is made.
Well here’s an interesting graph as apparently it’s only a fairly recent thing having an all world index ex US, so the nice people at MSCI have backdated their index:
Now the statistics on this show the outperformance is only a relatively modern trend, which is mostly driven by a few key companies.
My main counter argument is that when most markets over / under perform by 70% to the norm, they typically revert back to the norm. It’s not quite 70% yet, but how close that is depends on the timeframe we review.
