The first, “Testing Polymarket’s ‘Most Accurate’ Claim,” considers the actions of central banks in the US, UK, European Union and Japan over the last two years and seems to point to a negative evaluation of prediction markets, though a deeper analysis shows that to be not entirely true.Fuelman » 27 Feb 2026, 12:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Maybe so.

It leverages the work of Wharton School professor Philip Tetlock, who gained fame 20 years ago with his book Expert Political Judgment. In it, he compiled exhaustive evidence that prominent experts were terrible at prediction, easily beaten by monkeys throwing darts or simple statistical models. The more prominent the expert, the worse the performance. The two main problems were psychological biases and poor incentives.
Tetlock exploited his knowledge of psychology and economics to offset biases and provide proper incentives, turning ordinary folk without specialized expertise or education into what he dubbed “superforecasters.” When tested using questions submitted by policymakers, Tetlock’s superforecasters blew away not only other academic teams but also the professional forecasts made by highly trained specialists with access to classified intelligence.

You don't end up with $2.2 Trillion in invested assets by losing people money. There will always be bumps in the road, diversify, diversify, diversify!

Well, IDIOT, there are plenty of ETF's that are GLOBAL FUNDS that do ok, but the REALITY IS, US BASED ETF's are FAR more profitable as of the past year.

You expose your LIES if given enough ROPE TO HANG YOURSELF!! Of which you just did!!

The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) achieved exceptional performance in 2025, with total returns for the year ranging from approximately 32% to over 38%, heavily driven by high-dividend stocks, European financials, and energy sectors.
This performance significantly outperformed the S&P 500 during the same period.
details regarding VYMI's 2025 performance:
Total Return: Various sources report 2025 total returns between 32.6% and 38.09%, marking one of its best years.
Performance vs. Market: VYMI nearly doubled the S&P 500's gain in 2025.
Drivers: Strong performance was driven by a heavy, high-yield exposure to international stocks, specifically in Europe and emerging markets, and a weak U.S. dollar.
Dividends: The fund continued its streak of distributing quarterly dividends, with payments observed in March, June, September, and December 2025.

In England you can be arrested for disrespecting a Muslim and for being openly critical of the forced Muslim invasion of England.
At least we are only 1 or 2 [[[Democrat Party]]] administrations away from having that happen to us.

Your graph has a flaw. It reflects the success of the east and global south, while hiding europe's failure.
If europe were busted out of that graph, it would be sucking hind tit to the US and the rest of the globe would be smoking us harder.

@Blackvegetable provided a clear concise graphic that America certianly is not on any kind of trajectory to greatness. I'll agree how his curve divvies up is debateable.
I don't know if China sells stock in BYD, but they are making vehicles cheaper than anyone else on the planet. Even with 100% tarriff they are still cheaper than US made crap vehicles, over burdened with extras no American can afford..
