  • Alright. 
    I found some similarities and patterns that I cannot take them out of my head or ignore. 
    Most of international/global index(s) have at least 55-60% US stocks in them. Others with less US stocks put their money in China's stocks which I don't really trust, not so much regulations, weird stuff (can) happen in China. - I've seen a couple of years ago programs/documentaries how Chinese companies invent things just to increase their share values. 
    As most of you investing in funds/shares BELIEVE in that, I did the following:
    - north america index
    - technology index (the most I believe in long term - I also trust clean energy sectors but not now).
    - ftse all world but as I said... 55%+ is US so not so "all world".
    Others have a proud of saying they are 80-20 on stocks and bonds. I am around 85-15 on US stocks :smile:
    We will see on long term who was right and who was wrong. But based just on fees, over 25+ years, active managed funds would've eaten almost half of the growth. No thank you :smiley:
