We don't always agree, but you are 100% on here.
I invest in America. I have no equity investments anywhere else. Slightly slower growth is still growth. I have not sold anything in 4 years. Why? Every stock I own grows plus they all have a 3% dividend. Some 5%+.
I only own boring stuff. And 2/3+ of my money is in bonds.
If I sell, I have to pay capital gains tax. And where do I put my money then?
