    That is what I thought but was not sure. Peter Schiff’s catastrophic predictions scared me out of owning US stocks.

    Comparing SPY with EEM is misleading. Is it apples/oranges. Compare SPY with another developed market tracker like EFA. You will notice that since 2002 when EFA started trading that it does indeed move somewhat in sync with SPY, only diverging gradually over long periods of time (due to currency changes, I believe).
