The Case for Going Global Is Stronger Than Ever

In closing, I want to leave you with one more thought.

Even though we have talked extensively about why the case for emerging markets is stronger than ever, I am not a big fan of abandoning the U.S., which is what some of my colleagues advocate.

The United States is a nation filled with resilient, clever people; and despite the fact that the chips are down, I wouldn't bet against it.

We will find our way through this mess, even though the path we must take isn't clearly defined nor brightly lit ... yet.
Best regards for great investing,
Keith Fitz-Gerald
