Don't worry, the house just passed the Stop Insider Trading Act last week. Surely the R's didn't piggyback provisions from the SAVE America Act to the bill to poison pill it and guarantee it never passes through the Senate.

Oh wait...

Oh wait...

Grift and legislative legerdemain is undefeated bipartisanship...

Missed out on this 225K boat..still kicking myself. Old news, I got over it.

Wow. Just got an indication of the potential for growth in the USA.

Daughter has a new 401k manager. Looking through options, the default is a popular Fidelity age based fund. Pretty standard.

But in checking the make up of the fund she would be assigned with 30+ years until retirement...it has over 40 percent in foreign equities now!

For decades I never saw a ratio that high...generally been somewhere between 10 and 20 percent. More than double that now!

That doesn’t surprise me.

70/30 has been the long-term “industry standard” recommendation for a while. I assume the extra 10% is perhaps respecting the 15-year outperformance of the US market vs international.

I assume with 30+ years to retirement it is all equity. If I remember correctly, 20-25 years ago the standard equity allocation was 50% US 40% intl dev and 10% em (all thereabouts). You can check ACWI history of allocation. Today US is showing 63%.

Interesting to know if it is an active or passive fund. That would show if it was a true bet.
