VEA vs VXUS — how I split developed/emerging exposure

US market is 65% of global market cap. Holding only US stocks is an active bet that this concentration persists. I hold 30% international (VXUS) because I don't know which market wins over 30 years.

I ran the same numbers. You're on the right track.

Counterintuitively, the best time to buy is when you're most scared.

Exactly. The sequence-of-returns issue is severely underappreciated.
