The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'd be careful about any drastic reallocation based on policies of a new president who won by a small margin. There will be backlashes and anti-backlashes and lots of chaos, but national cultures don't just permanently change overnight. I might even agree the U.S. has seen its peak in global influence, but even so it will be a very slow decline, during which US businesses will keep plugging along.

Now if you want to favor international over US based on *valuations*, I'm on board with that.

I also agree with BenSolar that small caps and value will make a comeback. In addition to DFSV in the US, there's a similar international fund, AVDV, from Avantis (a younger sibling of Dimensional Funds). Not much history, so you'd probably want to check out their "factor" based strategy (avantisinvestors.com - Avantis individuals shareholders), and the CIO, Eduardo Repetto. Here's a video interview with him: YouTube: Eduardo Repetto: Deep Dive with Avantis Investors' CIO | Rational Reminder # 228 (The Rational Reminder Podcast)
