I’m certainly no market chart reading expert so my interpretation of this chart series is rather simple. These charts demonstrate the difference in USA investing and world investing. They say to me that US returns are superior with less risk because of the subdued nature of the return volatility. I suppose they can be combined to attenuate volatility but I’m underwhelmed by their rather high correlation coefficient. The higher USA returns are impressive!

I hope this helps. To improperly quote the following: A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest. From the Boxer by Paul Simon.
Good luck!!!
