Holding stocks in the nation in which you live probably isn't very smart from a hedge perspective, considering US stocks don't have a locked correlation to foreign ones. Your assets would all be in the shitter at the same time you're out the job and need to liquidate them to survive.

Yes I agree. I was using US stocks for the sake of comparison against US bonds. Otherwise, a diversified portfolio with risk adjusted to goals is what makes sense
