🔥🔥 GLOBAL MARKETS INVESTOR PORTFOLIO — UP 60% SINCE JANUARY 2024 DURING THE MARCH-APRIL 2025 MARKET TURMOIL, MAJOR US INDEXES FELL NEARLY 20%, WHILE THE GMI PORTFOLIO GAINED OVER 5%, FIND OUT HOW BELOW:
The US stock market has been in a bull run for 3 years.
Since October 12, 2022, the S&P 500 has surged +93%, or +24% annualized.
Information Technology has led the rally with a massive +186% gain.
The top 10 stocks alone gained +165%, while the top 50 rose +125%.
By contrast, the equal-weighted index is up just +54%.
This run marks the best-performance since the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble. Nevertheless, the US stock market has been one of the worst performers in 2025.
The S&P 500 ranks as the 66th best-performing market this year in US Dollar terms out of 92 markets, the 2nd-worst year since 2008.
In local currency, the S&P 500 comes in just 57th.
In other words, this is one of the worst years for the US in decades, relatively speaking.
Meanwhile, more voices are growing that American stocks are in a bubble and further growth will not sustain. IMF chief economist even calculates that $35 trillion of wealth might be at risk.
