If you are still relying on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds to grow your money, you owe it to yourself to try ETFs because they give you a huge advantage. In fact, they give you all the same advantages as professional money managers... advantages like lower fees, less risk, and much bigger gains.
Word is slowly leaking out about the advantages of ETFs. Yet, despite the incredible power and profit potential of Exchange-Traded Funds, only 2% of Main Street investors are using them. Why?
Because Wall Street would rather soak you for unnecessary fees and commissions. Brokers would rather sell you ten stocks than one ETF. And mutual fund managers hope you never find out that ETFs charge miniscule fees compared to mutual funds. So they try to convince you that only professionals can trade ETFs. That's a lot of baloney.
Exchange-Traded Funds aren't complicated. You don't have to be a genius to trade them. ETFs are simply baskets of stocks. Each basket is designed to track an index like the S&P 500 but still trade like a stock.
You can buy or sell them at any time during the day... just like stocks. You can sell them short, buy on margin, or place a stop or limit order... just like stocks. But unlike stocks, you get all the diversification of a mutual fund.
The ETF Global Investor weekly newsletter gives you all the tools and specific advice needed to invest in the US as well as in developed and emerging markets overseas.
Why investing overseas is so important today? In the good old days, investing primarily in the United States made sense. The U.S. produced more than half the world's output, the U.S. dollar was king, our manufacturing base vibrant and, for the most part, the rest of the world was behind.
But to use such an approach today would be a mistake. The United States accounts for only 25% of global output, the dollar has fallen against the Euro by more than 40% during the past two years, more than 75% of all publicly traded companies are located outside the U.S., and growth rates in other countries can be two to three times higher than the U.S.
In the last ten years, the U.S. has never been the world's best performing stock market. In fact, it has never ranked higher than fourth place. During the 1980's alone, the Europe, and Far East Index grew 27% per year compared to 16% for the S&P 500 Index.
During the 1990's, the slowdown in Japan and the U.S. technology boom left many investors thinking they didn't need international exposure but then the S&P 500 dropped 44% in two years.
In 2003, the S&P 500 index rebounded nicely but it was still beaten by 30 international markets. Here's a few: Sweden, up 61%, Germany, up 60%, Austria, up 54%, Spain, up 55%, India, up 75%.
Here's a shocker. During the past 25 years, a blended portfolio of 60% U.S. stocks and 40% international stocks was less volatile than a S&P 500 index fund.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has more workers in state and local government than in manufacturing, the last monthly merchandise trade surplus occurred during the Ford Administration and our budget and trade deficits together will exceed $1 trillion this year. America's total debt now exceeds $31 trillion, more than three times our GDP.
This means the U.S. dollar will have to continue to decline in value. Let's be blunt, even if you believe as I do that the United States is the best country in the history of the world, it makes about as much sense to invest in only one country as it does to invest in only one company or one industry.
Over the last decade, U.S. markets have become increasingly volatile and tumultuous. The U.S. stock markets are now hypersensitive to even the smallest earnings disappointments or surprises.
From boom to bust moves of Nasdaq during the dotcom fever, to the terrorism risks and corporate scandal upheavals that can jolt stocks and funds at any time, putting one's eggs in a single market - even one as large as the U.S.- is no longer the most prudent and profitable path.
Recently there has tremendous growth of global investment opportunities. Building a portfolio that is globally diversified essential to reducing the overall risk of investing. For years some of the world's foremost investment minds have created mountains of wealth by shrewdly investing in select overseas markets.
Billionaires from George Soros, to Warren Buffett and John Templeton have always put a high value on seeking the best investments in markets around the world. Did you know that an investor who put $10,000 in his Sir John Templeton's flagship internationally-oriented Templeton Growth fund at its launch in 1954 would have nearly $7 million today?
Fortunately for individual investors, it has never been safer and easier to invest in overseas markets thanks to the boom in tax efficient, low cost ETFs (exchange traded funds). And now the ETF Global Investor can help you find the best places in the world to invest your money.
