Communist China's stock averages are negative unless you're an insider.

@flammmenspeeryt9184 Except parts on Chinese law are still the same as back in the Mao era, like how there is no privately owned land.

Really depends on how old you are. If you're retired, you don't need risk in your life. If you are young, you must build your kingdom. In any case, any passively managed bond fund should be good. The fees eat up much of the return of bond funds

The membership overlaps and they're all part of the same economy. Ben Felix was speaking of recent decades when a large portion of returns were driven by a limited number of overleveraged blitzscalers while average returns are much more modest. Also, there's statistical arbitrage. All the stocks in the same economy should ultimately move in conjunction with that economy no matter what the individual company is doing. Certain hedge funds have computers that have thousands of positions in correlated stocks using long short methods and math to make risk free profit. This is why when good or bad news comes out, all stocks seem to move as one.
