China Outperformed the U.S.: A Surprising Investment Outcome in 2024
It might sound counterintuitive, but a portfolio split 50/50 between bonds and equities invested in China at the start of 2024 delivered better returns (in dollar terms) than a similar portfolio in the U.S. over the same period.
This remarkable performance highlights China’s recovery dynamics and evolving market opportunities despite global uncertainties, contrasting with slower growth and market volatility in the U.S.

The Road to Chaos

Bing and Bob, two fast-talking con men or song-and-dance partners, would find themselves in a scrape in some country, and Bing would get out of it by selling Bob as a slave (Morocco in 1942, where Bing promises to buy him back) or committing him to be sacrificed in some pagan ceremony, and so forth.
