International
Investing Is Right Here At Home!
Because of recent fluctuations in the US stock
market & the dollar, there has been an increase in the flow of money into
international funds and out of our domestic funds.
Well
there is no need to leave your bedside manners and snub your nose at our
domestic friends. Here's why….
There are
many domestic companies right here in the old USA that bring in over half
of their revenues from international dollars. Many of these companies are
household names like Coca-Cola (72.3%).
Why are
so many folks now interested in international investing? This is nothing new,
but the new development is the decline in the U.S. dollar.
The
emerging markets have skyrocketed over the last couple of years and now the risk
level remains elevated for all this new money entering the latter stages of
these rallies. Yes, they may continue higher, but as we always discuss, risk and
return must be measured appropriately.
There is
a quick way through the backdoor into the arena of global growth, and the
seats are cheap. Many U.S. large and best managed companies are selling an
increasing number of products overseas and grabbing foreign currency by way of
the sales they are retrieving..
