Thanks for the feedback! I don’t hold international currently either because about half of all revenue from S&P 500 companies is made overseas anyway.

LOL

Definitely a timely analysis with great visuals to boot. Good work Zach! Hopefully this will ease anxiety in some to stay the course and follow their plan. It’s easy to say you are confident until there is a significant downturn and the emotions begin to affect logical thinking.

I also like seeing the comparison between US/INT/BONDS over the time period. I personally no longer hold international in my portfolio because of the global footprint the Total Market Funds provide already. Your analysis reinforces my decision. Thanks

I’m not sure what you mean. Why is it strange to do this now?

Why now?
