QQQ is still not up YTD in Euro it just broke even today. Hate to say it but my portfolio in Europe is has only just been beating Eurozone inflation… i’m up about 4% now, but the last week was quite good.
What about 30 years?
Many USD-based investors do not realize the erosion of value in USD vs other assets like gold. US stock returns denominated in other currencies is eye opening.
YTD is an arbitrary time period. ARKK dominated the sp500 at one point too. There is always something that will.
The point of investing in the total market is to get market returns over a long time period.
Plenty of things outperform total market ETFs in short timeframes.
