Did you see those returns for overseas markets in 2003? Armenia up
170%, Thailand 138%, Germany 61%. Savvy investors know that the
principal of a diversified portfolio extends beyond finding companies
in different industries. The dollar’s decline has helped a number of
overseas markets and apportioning some of your nest egg overseas is
just plain prudent. The Web can help you breakdown time zone and
language barriers and get you started as a global investor. As demand
increases, these sites are starting to charge for their data.– Leigh
