I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Daniel,

I believe one cannot ignore investing in international/emerging markets. However, it should get its due for its worth only. At this point in time, perhaps 5% to 10% allocation. Beyond that it does not make sense.

I define international the moment currency conversion is required. So yes, Canadian investing to me is international.

Best Wishes,

Good point about emerging-markets management being less advanced in investor treatment than the U.S.’. Unfortunately, a rapidly-growing emerging economy tends to go hand in-hand with treating shareholders as an afterthought. The United States did go through that phase in the past.

Myself, I don’t invest internationally except for a small holding in a U.S. stock. I’m Canadian, so I suppose my own domestic forays would be seen as international investing to an American.

I can’t exactly say that the Canadian economy is a high-growth emerger, but it has its moments.
