The market will likely go down from here as I just dumped 3 months of salary into $VXUS, $EWJ, and $VPL (Pacific Asia). You are welcome for the lower prices from here : )
I checked my tax lots as I was getting down voted here for buying on March 30-31st. $VXUS +15.92% $EWJ +13.99% $PHYS +0.9% (Gold). Buying gold was a miss. $EWY +77.3% These tax lots were from April 7th $VT +13.9% $VPL +20.34% If you are gambling its not a bad idea to throw more than 1 dart when buying. I would've expected Gold to outperform but the other 5 buys have done just fine and made up for the difference. I sold $EWY 2 weeks ago and have put that cash into $BRKB, $VXUS, and $EWJ. Diversify, diversify, diversify.
That sounds too difficult. I will just look for pullbacks in $VPL which includes Australia & Japan and moves Samsung & SK Hynix down to 10% of the ETF.
New ATH for $EWY. $VXUS is up 2.7% and $EWJ & $VPL are up 2.7%. I can't wait for the down votes from the World Stocks always underperform US stocks peanut gallery.
You should never listen to anyone on reddit for financial advice. We are all gambling addicts. But this repatriation of foreign capital out of the USA back to their home countries/economies has me rethinking the need to hold $TLT. I'm now moving towards 50% (World ex US) $VXUS, $EWJ , $VPL, 25% $VT (World plus US since these ETF are very overweight US stocks anyway), 15% $GLD, and 10% US dividend stocks. I've unfortunately been around boomers too long, who despite growing up entitled w/ a silver spoon in their mouth, were right about dividends & cashflows. What good are buybacks over dividends if you fave AI cap ex hyperscaler decided to spent all their cashflows buying their stock back at market tops before then deciding to spend all their cashflows on AI cap ex w/o ever giving a shit about their shareholders?? Good Luck.
Oil at $94 would be a different headline. WTI just nosedived on the ceasefire chatter. If crude keeps sliding, do you think EWJ/VPL actually catch a bid, or is this just another 2 week TACO pump?
I BTD on more World stocks ex-US & Pacific Asian ETF's than anything else this time around. $EWJ, $VPL, $VXUS, and $GLD made up 80% of my BTD buys for the last 2 weeks. There's so much growth to like in this region & the stocks were hit harder than most since they are more energy dependent than many other regions. Higher risk, but also higher rewards.
You are correct. I'm not calling for a market crash. I've been BTD. I added $VPL to my port 15 mins ago. I'm just looking at charts.
VPL for developed Asia pacific.
VPL probably? The past year they have done amazing but over the last 15 years the overall return has been rather poor. I wouldn't go all in.
VPL Vanguard Asia-Pacific fund is up 10% ytd
I rode gold and silver up, managed to keep most of the gold gains but only a little of the silver because it fell so fast and I forgot my stop order. I'm out of both and beat S&P pretty handily (even accounting for the losses) over the last 10months when switched out of majority US originally. I can't believe I forgot the stop orders on Gold and Silver but I'm ahead. Anyway, I'm now majority international. VXUS, VYMI, DFIV, VPL and KXI with a sprinkle of IDNA (my sole US this year so far). The rest of the money 33% is waiting on a buying opportunity in the US market. I wish I had kept VDC as the sole US ETF to hold but oh well. When the US market crashes, I might jump on a little gold again if it drops before then and I can see a US crash coming. I will add a good US dividend ETF and a US broad market ETF. But it has gotta drop a lot more because right now the US market seems way overbought.
"most years" US outperformance was based on Free Trade policies pursued by the government in Washington DC at the time. Currently, the government in Washington DC is pursuing Trade War policies that have impacts on capital flows which will naturally result in diminished foreign demand for US based equities. The old policy (Free Trade) produced a valuation premium for US equities. The new policy (Trade War) is removing that valuation premium. Unless and until the government in Washington DC pursues a different set of policies, Ex-US stock markets will continue to outperform. Here are 12 month returns (as of Friday) for a selection of various markets as reflected in ETFs 1 year returns: SPX ... 13.84% - S&P 500 - largest 500 US domiciled corporations. VXUS... 30.04% - Global, excluding US FLCA... 31.09% - Canada VPL... 32.97% - Pacific Region FLMX... 53.22% - Mexico FLKR... 99.15% - South Korea
The DAGA trade (Divest America Generate Alpha) has been massively profitable. 1 year returns: SPX ... 13.84% VXUS... 30.04% FLCA... 31.09% VPL... 32.97% FLMX... 53.22% FLKR... 99.15% Korea and Mexico have wider volatility. Total world (ex-US) and Canada had more steady outperformance (more than double the returns of US stocks).
Made money investing in EUAD, & GLCR this year. Vanguard VPL.
I’d look for a broad South America ETF rather than investing in Venezuela where there is so much uncertainty. I have VPL (Asia-Pacific) and VGK (Europe). I don’t have anything to suggest for S America, but I’m sure it exists, hopefully someone else can offer suggestions.
There is a whole world in-between the two extremes. My shifts to GLD, SLV, VXUS and VPL beginning in Feb has been very, very rewarding as I watched Tariff and uncertainty mess with the system as it tries to understand where it really should be. Ive been slowly pulling out of SLV and will probably start slowly withdrawing GLD now. Im not trading daily but I'm also not investing in US markets until I see what happens with AI and the economy. I did way better than US etfs so i can afford to stay on the sidelines for quite awhile.
V's be veeing. Vee is for VPL
I keep 10% in VWO and 5% in VPL. VWO has been the best performing broad market ETF for me this year - ahead of VTI partly due to US dollar weakening. VWO and VPL still have reasonable p/e of 15-16, compare to 27 for VTI for those worried about overheating.
These are all very different funds that seek to provide equity exposure to different parts of the world. VEA - tracks the FTSE developed all cap ex US. This tracks companies in developed countries primarily in Canada, Europe, Asia. And of all different market cap. VGK - tracks European companies only VPL - tracks Asia-Pacific companies only. FLCA - tracks Canadian companies only.
What is the difference between VEA vs. VGK + VPL + FLCA? Other than expense ratio?

Ignoring BNDX, better than 95% of the holdings in VWO, VGK, and VPL are already covered by VXUS. While VXUS covers the markets except US, you're extra holdings are adding weight to everything else that isn't Canada or the Middle East. Why?
Aye. I’m in VWO, VXUS, VGK, BNDX, and VPL. The rest of the world may experience some troubles but I do believe they are severely undervalued vis-à-vis the U.S. If you can deal with the tax work, wouldn’t hurt to exchange for some euros to own some European stocks.
Me? I'm not super concerned about volatility, as long as I think the underlying arrow is upwards. As it mostly has been. It's the rest of your post where I'm simpatico. In short, given the current economic and governance policies, it's not clear to me-- especially in the US-- that the arrow will continue to point up. We're giving up being the reserve currency and the "safe investment" so money that had formerly been flowing into the US markets won't necessarily do so in the future. Part of my problem is... I don't know where else to put my money. Every non-US fund I see looks to have the same losses as the S&P 500 (most of my money is VOO; I have an impulse to diversify and am afraid of future performance of US markets) with much less upside. Maybe that's not relevant any more and I should just pick one (I had VXUS for a while but was unimpressed-- I kind of switched it for XMHQ but am still unimpressed, so seeking other options). But looking at VEA, VEU, VGK, and VPL-- none of them have done great. So-- I guess I'm riding it out, at least for now?
VXUS is good because it’s all world so it’s a 1 stop fund kind of deal If you want to get granular then - APAC: VPL - Europe: VGK - Emerging market VWO - em ex China EMXC
If you want international, you could choose VXUS or region specific ETFs like VPL (Pacific) or VGK (Europe).
Foundational = VTI International = VGK, VPL, and EMXC. (Basically VXUS with no China). Growth: QQQM, VUG Value: SCHD (technically a dividend fund but works great as a value fund) Small-Mid Cap: VO, AVUV
VGK gets you the FTSE 100, the biggest companies in europe, VPL gets you developed markets in Asia.

Generally speaking, ETF's are better than indexes for beginners, because they don't have a minimum amount you have to invest every time (I think vanguard indexes have a 2000USD minimum investment). VXUS is a great one. It tracks the international stock market, you can't go wrong with it. If you want to keep your investment strategy simple, you might as well just invest in this one for international coverage and that's it). If you want to dabble with a few other ones, you can try VGK, an etf for Europe, or VPL, an etf for Asia. But if you want to keep things simple, just use VXUS. That's what I do for international coverage and it's one of the safest investment out there with good returns. Hope this helps!
EWJ, though the expense ratio of 0.5 is high for a passively managed fund. I'd suggest VPL which is roughly 55% Japan. VPL also includes South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
>Such a shift took 15 years, and it will likely be similar for VR too, starting at 2015/2016. Ah, there's where our problem is. You think VR only started when the CV1/PS4VR released to consumers. NASA was making virtual navigable worlds in 1977, MIT had a virtual tour of Aspen in 1978. By 1985, they already had head tracking, and stereoscopic 3d via 2 Fresnel lenses, in a head mounted display. What we think of for VR was already fully functional and in routine use by 1990. [https://www.nasa.gov/ames/spinoff/new\_continent\_of\_ideas/](https://www.nasa.gov/ames/spinoff/new_continent_of_ideas/) VPL made a whole-body tracking suit back in the late 1980's. Cyberdesk was created in 1988. In 1991, Virtuality released the first VR headset that used sensors to detect hand positions. Even if you just want to limit it to consumer-grade PC-connected VR headsets with wireless hand tracking, stereoscopic 3D via lcd displays and fresnel lenses, and full head tracking, the Forte VFX1 came out in 1995. If you consider that the starting point, the 15 year shift would have occurred in 2010, when the Rift was announced... Do you see where I'm coming from now?
Try VEA Canada Europe Pacific and VPL Pacific
ETFs VGK,VPL,FTEC,VT,SCHG those are "cheap" so to speak. QQQ,VOO,VGT,DIA,SPY can be considered affordable but expensive for some. Not financial advice, do your research, look at expense rations. BRK/B for stock.
If you’re looking for 10-20 years you could diversify across several indexes. Odds are the next 10 years for the S&P 500 will be worst than the past 10 unless P/E multiple expansion continues to rise. Consider some small & mid cap index tracking etfs as well like VBR and VO and maybe some foreign indexes as well (I like IEUR and VPL). The S&P and Nasdaq are not the only good indices out there.
in all world Vanguard is choosing the geography allocation . i do that myself by adding VGK, VPL, and VWO for Europe , pacific and emerging… on the one side foreign equity are important for diversification, on the other side the US economy is the star and has more financial transparency and less corruption. Some people do 80/20 , 70/30, or 60/40 depending on their appetite for international risk / reward
YYY XYLD VPL might be worth checking out
Since I've asked the question I moved a smaller amounts to VPL (Pacific, Japan, AUS, Taiwan, South Korea etc.) and VWO (emerging markets, 40% is china)
Why the fuck do woman get right in front of u in the gym and BEND OVER !! WHY THE FUCK AND IN the creep if u look !! For thong VPL !!!
Why the fuck do woman get right in front of u in the gym and BEND OVER !! WHY THE FUCK AND IN the creep if u look !! For thong VPL !!!
Vanguard ftse pacific etf (VPL) maybe.
If they're tight enough that you have extreme VPL, you might as well be naked.
Vanguard Pacific (VPL) and Developed Markets (VEA) both have Samsung as their top holding
VTI and VO are doing well. VPL is up but asia is dicey
I was a VPL and now I’m just unemployed. Some stores aren’t even gonna have any VPLs. Insane cause like you said. It’s FREE
