These are historic returns being put up in 2025, so investors should be very pleased right?
Nope.
We have some of the most historically bearish sentiment on record. And it's mostly because Large-cap U.S. growth has been such a massive underperformer in 2025.
Look at these epic returns across Asia, Europe and Latin America. And compare them to the negative performance in the United States.
Listen, I understand that many Americans have an irresponsible amount of U.S. Large-cap Growth in their portfolio.
I get that.
And those kinds of people are getting smoked in this environment.
The U.S. is the last place you want to be invested this year. And the data shows.
What's hilarious is that in Q4 last year, the journalists parading around as economists suggested on the cover of their print magazine that the United States was the envy of the world.
In fact, they even rolled up a wad of Hundred Dollar bills like it's a, "We all about the Benjamins" music video, and turned it into a rocket ship heading into space.
As a reminder, that was in Q4.
Come Q1 this year and the US Dollar has seen one of the most violent sell-offs in the history of the US Dollar (The opposite of what's happening on the cover of this print magazine).
And US Stocks have underperformed more than at any point in American history, in some cases.
This massive rotation doesn't mean the world is falling apart. In fact, we know that rotation is the lifeblood of a bull market.
And that's what we've been seeing.
It's just math.
