Wow, had NO IDEA U.S. equities had crushed the rest of world so bad...

    180% up for the S&P 500 since 2010, versus *18%* for a fund that I believe tracks all or most non-U.S. equity markets. Only 4% up for the developing markets they say.

    I had no idea we had PUNKED the rest of the world so totally over that time period. Amazing.

    But are these experts likely right that this is likely to change in 2020? Why is 2020 likely the year for the change? Could the U.S. markets outperform for years to come? The Tax Jobs and Cuts act had far-reaching effects with capital being brought back to the U.S., for example... maybe its just getting started?

    Thanks!

    The S&P isn't a leading economic indicator.

    Maybe it has something to do with printing dollars and pretending there is no inflation and everything costs the same as it did 10 years ago?

    US government statistics are always the absolute truth:). Lying by governments is only for failed states like Venezuela.

    Are you saying that the United States Corporation is Trumps 181st bankruptcy? How could you say such a thing? Sarcasm..

    The US debt is >$23T. Up a trillion in the past six months alone.
