Those of us that are still investing your funds abroad, congratulations to you. It was only a couple of days ago that I was reading an updated article at a popular investment advice website and it talks about the five stock markets abroad that have done the best at giving investors a positive return on their investments over the last year. As you may have expected none of the countries discussed would have been on my investment radar and if you did then your money probably did pretty good for your and better than a lot of us have done
So what five countries are discussed according to the post? The countries listed were South Africa, Columbia, Tunisia, Chile and Venezuela. Of the five that were mentioned, the country of Venezuela was the only market abroad to give back a positive return and they were the only country to do that in the last year. Don’t bother getting upset if you were not looking to spread your money out to investments in global markets. Pretty much every global market failed to to get your a good return on your investments besides one. To bad for investors there is that constant threat of the leader forcing a dictatorship and nationalization of his country. Not exactly a place that is a winner in terms of wanting to invest your money in.
I suppose the purpose of the post at least to me was to show people who are investing that there is still a lot of money to be made by investing in other stock markets. Other than having to do a bit more investigating than you would have done in the past as the better returning investments are still available. Thanks to the miserable of the economical disasters around the globe.
Shining the light on the best option on your investments over seas may not be as simple as it was before but that should not mean that you should stop your investments abroad. Putting a portion of your portfolio in over seas markets is vital to the survival of your over all investments than ever. Spreading your investments is vital to assure that your investments will grow successfully in to your future. For a good portion of us the thought of investing a small amount of your hard earned money in stocks here or over seas may feel like a chance that you are not will to take right now. Would you say that there are not many of us that have not been stretched beyond our financial limits in the last year as we have all watched the stock markets come crashing down the stock market mountain.
Don’t know what you think and the status of your invested money but Of the few people I know that have lost over half of their investments in the last year. The majority of those people have worked to to keep what money they had left and have kept investing. Each and every one of them have kept their investments as diverse as before or have spread their investments even further to protect their investments from further losses on their investment accounts.
I wonder what effect do you think this past year has had on the everyday investor? Do you think investors have moved their investments out of stock markets altogether or do you think most people have fought to keep their fears in check and kept pushing their investments to be smarter and stronger than before? It will be interesting to watch when the bottom finally hits from all this economical mess to see how people will change they way they invest their money? Do you think investors putting their money over seas will be stronger than ever or will investors keep away so much that it may be a couple of years before we see the money being invested overseas that has been happening in the last couple of years before the recession.
