She mentioned a couple of past failed investments, and wanted to know what I thought about investing and financial freedom - whether it was just a myth, or whether it could be acquired. I thought I'd share it here for the benefit of those who have struggled with investing, or perhaps from ventures that didn't quite pan out. That's not good! Just because I mess up one real estate investment DOES NOT mean real estate is a bad investment. The poor and middle class try something, and when they fail, they either blame a person or circumstances AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT AGAIN. I hope this helps - I'd like your opinions on what I've shared .

| Foreign Investing - US Investors Still Missing Out? |
|
The New York Stock Exchange conducted a Survey of US holders of foreign stocks in 2000. The problem is that most US investors, and their advisers, have not had the time, opportunity or inclination to become educated about and familiar with foreign investing, preoccupied as they are with just getting their own home market right. The accounting, reporting, and stock market regulation standards of many foreign markets are frequently not as high as we take for granted here - though all these are rapidly changing for the better. Duncan Ellis is an author and retired stock broker. Investors are still too slowly realizing what the academics have long pointed out -- adding foreign stocks to your portfolio will, over the long term, increase your returns and lower the overall risk of your portfolio.

Mutual fund managers try to outsmart the market in the short term instead of patiently waiting in the long term where it is more likely to correctly determine if stocks are high or low. This is a lot like the stock market where we don't know what the general level will be from time to time because of random information entering the market in the sort term. If you have not been particularly successful as a stock investor in the past, for instance, there is no reason that you won't be unsuccessful in the future.
