Forward looking statements made with such confidence tend to be wrong. I take it you will personally make whole anybody who follows your investment advice in case you are wrong?
But you don't have an issue with the statement "you can't beat the sp500". Just calling out American self centeredness here.
Over the next decade, but not the next year? Are you so confident in this that you've leveraged and bought options to maximize returns?
I'm all in on emerging markets personally.
Interesting metaphor. Usually, one doesn't buy into a poker game with one's entire bankroll, so pushing all in is relatively insignificant.
It's not really fair to ask someone to leverage themselves to display their conviction.
It's not really fair to make an assertion that one asset will outperform another without giving a measure of confidence.
I'm not asking that our advisor take leverage, but merely asking whether she/he has, to gauge confidence in the investment thesis.
