Jonathan, I know that this article is an older one but I have just re-read it. I find your recommendation for using the Vanguard Total World Stock ETF to be a good one. I know that the EFT did not exist back in the 1980s and 1990s but I cannot help but wonder that if it had, it would have been hugely invested in the Japanese stock market. How to you square your use of the ETF to what occurred back then? Do you feel that the circumstances at that time were somehow unique? Thank you for your thoughts.
Jonathan, why the Vanguard Total World Stock ETF rather than the Vanguard Total World Stock Mutual Fund in view of Vanguard's patented method of not paying out capital gains on those Mutual Funds that have a "sister" EFT?
