Of course, most of my retirement is in stocks. I own a couple individual stocks, but mostly I have mutual funds and some bond funds.

I think of the stock market as a way to make your money grow if you invest properly. I invest in foreign markets, but only ones that don’t go insane like the one in China.

I do both. I use ETFs to hit the foreign markets. One of the secrets to ETFs is you get to deduct up to $300 a year in foreign taxes on your 1040 form towards your net taxes you have to pay. You don’t even have to mess doing foreign taxes or even see them get paid. Last year I deducted $180 or so in federal taxes and that’s $180 less I had to owe the Federal government.

All of my retirement funds are in stocks and index funds. I invest in a couple of foreign stocks using ADRs (American Depository Receipts). This allows US investors to invest in foreign companies. These ADRs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

I invest in the stock market and am an advocate of value investing (finding great companies, buying them at the right price, and only selling when they become overvalued…)
Investing in foreign markets is fine, if you’re able to find good companies (and have faith that you have enough information about that company — sometime the foriegn reporting doesn’t give you as much information as the US companies do…)
In fact, you can find great foriegn companies that trade on the US stock exchanges through ADRs (American Depositary Receipts – negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. bank representing a specific number of shares of a foreign stock traded on a U.S. stock exchange).
Hope this helps!
