All investment involves some gambling. Putting 1/3 into US stocks is not a bet on health and creativity of US conpanies. It's a bet on the assumption that the biggest casino on Earth will keep attracting the rich that don't have other places to go. Fairly safe bet I'd say.

Regardless, it only reinforces that the notion that US stock market doesn't reflect true worth of US companies because it's flooded with capital from pension funds. Not only US ones but from the whole world.

This type of delusion is why Europe has been falling behind economically for decades.

I, in my delusion have near zero influence on European economy, so if it's in fact falling behind, which it probably isn't, there must be other reason.
