I bet people who did not invest in VT, are wishing that they did now.

Suppose that the threat of (tariffs) — causes the US economy to (go from a “developed market”) (to an “emerging market”).

Long term, let’s say that these tariffs cause (major US companies, like Apple) — which currently has their headquarters established in the US. Because (Apple company) has its headquarters established in the US, (Apple company) directly benefits the US stock market.

However, (Apple company) decided to re-allocate its headquarters (to another country). Because (Apples headquarters “are not on the US”) — Apple company does not benefit the US stock market.

I bet that people wished that they had invested in VT, rather than (other ETFs).

#VT and chill = at least this ETF can auto-rebalance itself.

#VTWAX and chill = at least this (mutual fund) can auto-rebalance itself.
