FYI: Last week I wrote about how diversification is (almost) undefeated by showing how your chances of seeing a positive return in both stocks and a simple 60/40 stock/bond portfolio have gone up historically as you extend your time horizon:
Because this was a US-centric portfolio, the obvious follow-up question (which many of my astute readers asked) is: How do these numbers look for foreign stocks?
The U.S. has handily outpaced the rest of the globe for the past decade or so which has made anyone diversifying globally nervous about their foreign equity allocation. Fortunately, the long-term history of international stocks looks pretty good.
