We're getting a lot of that is this thread! I was expecting some very conservative allocations full of bonds and big cash holdings, but apparently, this thread has been left to the "stock jockeys".

I'm somewhat similar. Now, I do all my active stock holdings via the ASX, and as you say, the ASX has done well enough. My super is 100% in US ETFs.

As Australians we're lucky. If you were going to pick one country and not invest outside it, historically, both the US and Australia have done very well.

And one of the nice things about sticking with publicly traded assets, there's a lot more accountability, in theory. So they should be safer assets, on the whole.

I've reached the same opinion. If shares have had the highest return historically of any asset class, why go anywhere else?

[QUOTE="Zaxon, post: 1044577, member: 44421"] We're getting a lot of that is this thread! I was expecting some very conservative allocations full of bonds and big cash holdings, but apparently, this thread has been left to the "stock jockeys". I'm somewhat similar.
