One question we get a lot is why we’d ever want to invest in countries other than the U.S.  The U.S. stock market has done far better than other countries recently.  It’s the biggest national market in the world.  The U.S. has the strongest, most resilient economy.  And the U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency.  Why would we ever want to invest anywhere else? 

This week on the show we cover this question in detail, June’s inflation data, and an article on the impact that inflation has on bond markets.
