A ten fold increase since 2016.
But its advisable to remember the previous 16 years. This ETF only started in 2015 so we need to look elsewhere for that info.

The period between 2002 and 2012 were the lost decade.
A very painful decade where the US market stagnated.
The period between 2013 to 2026 has a 10 fold increase.
When the correction occurs will we then enter another bear market ?
Is it time to start looking to invest outside the USA?
