Take it to the Tug. We? don't need your political filth on this clean new sub-bored. We? are men (and one woman) of refinement and sophistication. We? drink old Scotch and smoke real Cubans here. We? don't mingle with the Oregon rabble in our club.

The Malinvestment has been tremendous and the USA looks more and more like Europe.

What the USA (and the world somewhat) needs to do is bend the cost curve on healthcare and defense spending to receive a higher economic multiplier elsewhere while reducing the deficit. I'm even open to more EITC at the city or county level for the multiplier effect alone. Anyone else?

And when will the music stop now? Recall the Fed started printing money again in the fall of 2019 to lower the Repo rate, which was the canary in the coalmine for me.

I suspect the best way to avoid a lost decade is to go international value and with some select emerging market growth. Of course if I was the best forecaster in the entire world, I'd be busy on my super yacht instead of posting on a site called hardcorehusky.com

Hey now. You're not just on HCH.com. You're on the Fucking Creepycoug Finance Board. This is a place of prestige worldwide. We? are known for our sophisticated hot takes. If you were toiling in that cesspool known as the Oregon Bros. Tug Tavern, you'd have a point.

But you're here, so it's ok.

With that said, could amplify your post. In particular, could you dumb down for us your points about the multiplier? What is EITC?

FWIW, I have some international and some growth. The retail guys have been pushing international since we first started talking about the fate of the dollar like ten years ago. I'm not being a smartass. This is where guys like @UW_Doog_Bot come in, pointing out that we've been chicken little on the dollar (and by implication, the entire US economy) for what seems like forever.

And I'm serious. I've had a dozen retail guys regurging their national office research saying to stop exposing yourself to the US economy and dollar and go international.

Further thoughts? Yours was a good post, but I would suspect over the heads of about 40% of us (despite our noted sophistication).

S&P is a great call. set the cash flow in, minimize expenses, leave it alone and you will beat 90% of Professional Money managers.

I have been in international growth and value for the last 10 plus years with pitiful and anemic results, waiting for when the US zigs it will zag narrative to come true.

Finally gave up the ghost at end of 2020 and moved it into S and P 500. Your all welcome for the dream decade overseas that will be coming your way.

Been noticing the same thing and have been waiting for Godot myself.
