A lot of people are talking about how international is beating the US market so far in 2025 and so "we need to change our portfolio and move to international". VEA has been a big one all over the internet because S&P 500 is down -12% and VEA is up +5.85%.
I just want to make sure you ZOOM OUT and do not make any crazy decisions for your future based off a couple months of pain. Looking at the chart above, in almost 20 years.. the TOTAL return is 7.08%.. IN TOTAL FOR 20 YEARS!
Emerging markets is even worse.
I know these are not fun times, but sometimes, the best thing to do is just do nothing. Let the storm blow through and keep DCA'ing like usual.
(I wrote this short blog in my private membership group earlier and felt like sharing here as well. I update my group on important things such as why the stock market is dropping and what to expect in the coming weeks economically. I post exclusive content there weekly and we have a live group zoom together every 2 weeks. You also have access to direct message me whenever you'd like!)
