It's a valid point to look at emerging markets and on one hand say, yes, they're really risky, but so are growth stocks.
I think where I'm coming from is don't make emerging markets your main priority.
portfolio.
I still believe diversified broad market index funds give you exposure to a range of different companies and sectors.
And having a smaller part of your portfolio in emerging markets is not necessarily a bad thing, but it becomes like...
having growth stocks.
To wrap up the emerging market point, there has been so much geopolitical risk that is only going to rise up more and become more of an issue to the point where I don't see it as a safe bet.
When you have your three fund portfolio and you've got an international fund
a US fund and a bond fund, I believe that international fund covers your emerging markets and there's not necessarily a need to change your US stocks into more emerging countries.
I think that's like... Oh my God, I almost got goosebumps just thinking about it.
It's quite a risky investment strategy to have.
And in all honesty, the final trend that I'd learned is that you just need to stay the course.
Like...
I was looking at the data and an investor who maybe like got really scared and sold down their growth stocks after the 22 crash and, you know, had like a 29% loss.
They would have then missed 2023's recovery and 2024's surge where it went up 29% and then 35%.
And an investor who was like, oh, my God, my bonds are down.
It's 2022.
They would have ended up having a multi-year recovery if they had just saved and not pulled out anything.
What the last decade has shown us, again, even though past performance does not guarantee future success is.
is that just because you have one bad year in the market or one bad six months or one bad quarter does not mean that this is where the market is going to hit.
