> Absolutely. But if you aren't prepared to see a 50% drop in prices from time to time (not to be confused with value), then you shouldn't own any equities at all. It happens to 'em all, that's just what they do.

Sure, but there are times when it would be... odd to see a 50% drop in a whole index, for example, if you were buying into an already-just-happened 50% drop across an entire continent's index.

Whereas, it's quite-likely-though-not-guaranteed as a price change in the next 10 years at some point.

My point is more... we're about as far away from the lows trend as euro indices ever tend to be.


> I mention it primarily because I think it's a useful slate to consider. When prices are cheap, spend your time buying what you've already researched and picked.

Agreed. I have this and a few other ETFs on a list of 'stuff to just grab 10% each of in a mega-crash, if my existing holdings somehow stay up while these things dump'.

For example, VMID, and CES1 (UK tickers).
