Why is S&P 500 investing the default when the Nasdaq Composite has performed better over every 30 year window?
A little Google Finance magic and you can create some plots showing you the "multiples" of your money had it been invested for X number of years (I prefer this over unwieldy percentages). If you invested your money into one index for 30 years that first dollar will have grown …

If China attacks Taiwan in 2027 (or some later date), which asset classes will then gain the most / lose the least value?
Assuming this will lead to at least short term disruption of trade with China and transportation of goods through the oceans close to the theatre of war like the Malacca strait and South China Sea. I'm guessing cash, inflation-linked instruments, commodities and perhaps physical gold, but I'm not sure I'm …

Thoughts on Additional ETF's I'm Considering
I've been pure Boglehead for several years, and it has served me well. I am in the "present times are unprecedented" camp, and so I wanted to at least explore some options beyond my historical allocation of SWPPX/VT/VXUS. I'm willing to forego higher potential gains in favor of a defensive …
