15 years. 5 major markets. One brutal truth.
QQQ (US): +1,253% WOW
NIFTY (India): +334%
EURO50 (Europe): +92%
MCHI (China): +49%
HSI (Hong Kong): +10%
If you invested $1,000 in US tech 15 years ago, you'd have ~$13,500 today.
That same $1,000 in Hong Kong? Barely $1,100. You'd have made more in a savings account. 🤯
And this is BEFORE accounting for currency depreciation — most of these markets are priced in currencies that have lost 25-70% against the USD over the same period. The real gap is even worse.
Why does this keep happening? The US is just the best.
"Home country bias" is the silent killer of portfolios outside the US. Familiarity ≠ performance.
The next time someone tells you to "diversify globally," show them this chart.
Personally, I don't diversify into weakness and never bet against America.

- The "Dollar Milkshake" sucking global liquidity into US assets
- 8 of the top 10 global companies are American
- Half of S&P revenue already comes from overseas — you get global exposure WITH US protection
