Observations:
My emerging marked fund is focusing on BRICS (Brasil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). Brazil is currently suffering from inhumane response to the corona-virus (SARS-CoV-2). China is being pressed by the west to give some free cash. These two main factors kept emerging markets where they were month ago, missing on out the rally.
Eurozone fund name implies that it is EU focused. This is only partial true, eighty percent of its assets are France, Germany, Holland and Spain. Those four countries will emerge better from the pandemic, than the flanks of the union.
Vanguard U.S.500 Stock Index Fund is already reached price to earnings ratio of 21.5, while the small cap fund is 14.6 (eurozone is 14.5 and emerging markets 13.0). As you could see S&P is already valued higher than a year ago prior the pandemic. This is truly incredible, considering the job losses.
I calculated that I need to save $3 K a month for the next twenty years to achieve financial independence by the time the house is paid and kids are out of the house. I am not using 4% rule but 3%. This is based on the market past ten years performance
