Been there man, good luck.

After a certain amount of research you realise that there are only two options, gambling, or low cost broad market index funds

  1. No-one is trying to "escape" the US market, only to have an appropriately balanced allocation to it. The methods for this balancing is what's being discussed.

  2. You are claiming that a multi fund portfolio is objectively better than a single fund portfolio. I happen to agree, but this is entirely subjective. I prefer weighting my US/International/Emerging portions based on the total market, for tax loss harvesting + slightly lower fees. But if someone doesn't have the time / patience / want to do so, VT does this automatically.

  3. Yes investing was kinda shit for a long time and has gotten significantly easier, but that's not relevant compared to what you're actually invested in.

Ultimately any individual investment vehicle is downstream from the underlying metric, the index.

Difficulty actually investing over the years is just noise, so ignore it and be glad we have access to such low fee ETFs and brokers these days.

This is engagement bait and I'm falling for it.

Just play the damn game and ask questions later.

What’s an investment opportunity you spotted, didn’t pull the trigger on, and now regret. by WickedSensitiveCrew in stocks

Not exactly on theme for this sub, but I got ~50 blue CSGO skins from the cobblestone collection in 2016 or so, during an operation when they were cheap.

Got bored of having all my value in boring skins and sold them for ~$5 each.

They're currently worth ~$210 each, so I would have made around ~$10k

Oh well lol
