Talk:Canadian-US investing differences/Archive 2021

Higher stock returns in the US?

The article contains the sentence "Canadian stock market returns have generally been lower than the US, but bond returns have been higher", with no source. It might be possible to find a source for this statement, but even if it was true in the past, it can't be used to predict the future. Reading this statement may encourage some readers (who don't necessarily understand that the past may not repeat itself) to overweigh US stocks in the hope of catching this extra return. Should the statement be deleted?--Quebec 06:32, 20 March 2021 (MDT)

Reviewing the article history, this early (2012) page version is where the point was introduced. Perhaps reworking the statement with a reference to Periodic table of annual returns, Global diversification and Home country bias might be more helpful than just deleting the statement. --Peculiar Investor 08:13, 20 March 2021 (MDT)

Ok, I've added a warning note.--Quebec 09:19, 20 March 2021 (MDT)
