For contrast, the S&P500 tracker fund has retuned 80% over 5 years and about 5000% since 2001.
Global trackers are the way to go. Agree you'd have to be a bit thick to invest in a FTSE100 tracker but disagree in the concept of trackers being poor investment vehicles - for a passive investor a global tracker is about as good an investment as you can get assuming fees are low.

When comparing indexes you can’t just compare the index you need to take into account dividends and the compound effect of reinvestment. FTSE 100 has a much higher yield than the S&P500. Plus it’s main constituents are not fashionable right now compared to the tech heavy US. But maybe things will be different going forward. Diversification is key.
I've got a very varied spread of funds. I just checked my portfolio analysis & about 7% is invested in UK company funds. That's enough for my taste in the current economic climate.
Microstrategy up another 25% today. $1350.
Up nearly 100% since I was advised to sell at $700.
I’m sure I’ll end up crying into my tea again, but I very much expect it to keep going all the way to $2000 over the coming months, if Bitcoin keeps doing its thing.
Raffe was probably short MSTR, short Bitcoin, short miner stocks, expecting it all to go to zero.
Must be rekt now.
There is no stopping Mr Saylor.

Anybody own any European defence stocks?
I have BAE, which have had a really good run, but am considering what others are a potential buy,
Hi all, I wondered if anyone was holding any an idea stock and if they were tempted to sell now or hold on tight?
As you say, always stuff we need, stuff you can put your hand on. I’m strong on mining/commodities. Rio with a P/E of 10 and 6.7% divi seems insanely cheap to me. Atlantic Lithium for a cheap entry to a future critical resource, fully funded, government invested. And I don’t even like non-ICE.
I must be bonkers, but fancy a bit of contrarian investing and just moved a few K into a BRICS ETF which has collapsed -60% over the last two years.
I will probably be catching a falling knife, but will hold for the long term when I hope these economies rebound at some point.
