I'm joined today by Fool contributors, Rachel Warren and Matt Frankel.
This is Memorial Day, if you're listening to this, but we're taping a couple of days early.
For that reason, we're not going with the news of the day or something like that.
We are diving into our mailbag here today in all three segments,
Let's just get right into it.
We have a question here from one of our listeners who just goes by S. It says, Dear Fools, the S&P 500 and a broad-based foreign index for investment portfolios is often considered good rules of thumbs for many investors.
The S&P, however, has become increasingly concentrated in the Magnificent Seven.
For investors looking to diversify and add more individual countries to their portfolios, such as Japan or India, for example, how should investors approach investing in more concentrated foreign investments?
Now, before we get into this first question here, I want to point out that the way it's worded makes it sound like there are two opposing approaches.
You can either invest in the Magnificent Seven or you can invest internationally, as in, you can do one or both, but you can't do both at the same time.
That's not necessarily true, right, Rachel?
This dichotomy doesn't necessarily exist.
I think it's so easy to overlook the fact that a large part of U.S.
stock market performance has been driven by the fact that these U.S.-based companies have gone global.
Matt, how about you?
Do you own any U.S.
companies that generate substantial revenue from overseas?
Thank you both for that.
Let's go ahead now and dive more into the meat of the question here regarding international diversification, specifically mentioning Japan and India in their question.
Rachel, there are simple ways to diversify into those markets.
