Why is it wrong invest 100% in a single country (USA) for my retirement?


I have an auto investment schedule with just a single fund – s&p 500.

My time period is roughly 25 years.

People say it's risky to invest in one single country. You should spread it out around the world.

What's the problem with 100% America?

If the American economy crashes then the entire world goes down too.

No “all world ETF” is going to save me.

I'm not trying to challenge the “all world” idea, I just don't understand it. I think investing in America is a good idea. The potential for returns is much greater and the biggest companies in the world are there.
