CRACKING THE US - A WORKED EXAMPLE

In a previous post, I had put together a theory that explained the continued outperformance of US stocks. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me. It also matches up greatly with my experience with US corporates. When one corporate has shown a way to “create value” then all will follow. We saw it in the dot-com bubble, during the housing bubble, and we see it now. What is great, is that once you understand it you can then correctly assess the risks, and work out what could unwind it. But as I note above, I have so far only presented circumstantial evidence. So here it my effort at a worked example.
