Comments on: Euro ETF Rejoices in Dollar’s Decline http://www.etftrends.com/2007/09/euro-etf-rejoic.html Keeping a grip on exchange traded funds (ETFs) Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:28:06 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Nick http://www.etftrends.com/2007/09/euro-etf-rejoic.html/comment-page-1/#comment-475 Nick Fri, 14 Sep 2007 19:10:36 +0000 http://etftrends.com.s14057.gridserver.com/2007/09/euro-etf-rejoices-in-dollars-decline.html#comment-475 Thanks ClickClick, exactly what many people suspect. I think the incentive to only spend locally will harm us in the not-too distant future. ETFs are great and we need to look abroad for investments. The obvious benefits are investing abroad, pouring money back into the system here, helping other market better compete which helps us in the long run. Anyway, I know I am preaching to the choir. It's interesting to see the foreign phobia psychological trend. Thanks ClickClick, exactly what many people suspect.

Why this is so is beyond me. Is it deliberate - does Schwab/E-Trade/etc get "incentives" from the U.S. gov't or Wall Street to keep us chained to the NYSE/NASDAQ/AMEX, or is there some technological issue? I'd bet it's the former. There's simply no reason why we couldn't start investing overseas. The Brits do it all day - and night -long. Apparantly Etrade enables you to buy on the FTSE or something. Post if you hear about other companies allowing overseas trading. Until then, use ETFs to get your money out of the U.S. (the Merk fund, GLD, Bullionvault, etc).

What is the problem? It makes perfect sense to invest abroad right now. Our weakening dollar can be a great tool if we invest abroad. It seems it would be the best way to keep money recirculating back home or am I too naive? I don’t understand why we as a nation don’t invest more into foreign markets? What is the problem?
