I was not alive in the early 80's.
Still probably shitting my pants by the late 80's.
I do understand your point. It's a small tilt to my portfolio that will either pay off in better gains, or if not, at least it's still a rather small portion of my portfolio when considering the difference between 10% or 20% in foreign funds.
