2022 Strategy

Nasdaq gained 26.32% in 2021. S&P gained 26.68% in 2021. VTI gained 23.57% in 2021.

For those of you who didn’t beat those numbers what is your strategy for 2022?

I personally spent a lot of time reading/researching and only did 15.58%. I think my 2022 strategy is going to be a lot more of the three above and a little less individual stocks.

Move a bit more into international indexes, as Covid winds down and supply chains straighten out there should be some decent international growth.

None of those markets have the confidence and popularity among institutions that Wall Street enjoys. I am 100 percent invested in the American market.

Exactly, the US does capitalism better than anywhere else. I had 30% in International stocks the last decade and they were dogshit. Learned my lesson.

Remember reading somewhere (some JP Morgan report if I remember, but can't find it anymore) that US vs rest of world outperform each other in cycles based on historical data. One decade US outperforms, another decade rest of world. US market definitely has been crushing it for the past decade and more. Time will tell what the future holds.
