avandalay, No, I don't usually buy international funds. I did buy Japan Fund once, but it didn't work out. If we see $70 to $80 oil, there could be a global melt down. The price of gasoline in Europe and the UK was $4 or $5 per gallon back when oil was only $25 to $30 per barrel. I can only imagine what they will be paying if we see $70 to $80 per barrel.
