Vanguard Total International Stock ETF Stock Discussion
“Investors can look forward to strong returns once the bear market ends. According to the Wells Fargo Investment Institute study, the average 12-month return after the end of a bear market is 43.4%. The problem, of course, is that no one knows when the bear market will come to an end.”

Personally, I've been 50/50 by whole investing life and as you can imagine with the results I now understand Roger Gibson excellent line in his book "Asset Allocation", "Being truly diversified always means being unhappy, you will always hold too many of the losers and not enough of the winners". So far happy about U.S. and unhappy about foreign, but figure at some point that will change.
Seems to me to be a good time to get into VXUS with 1. It taking a beating from omicron fears and approaching its 2021 low, and 2. Vanguard estimating nearly 2x annualized return of international equities over US equities over the next 10 years. Just curious to know others’ thoughts or if there are better ways to capitalize on these factors. I started building a small position into it today.
