The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Anyone here have any favorite blogs/websites that discuss international stocks?

I just think foreign markets are the way to go for at least the next few years. I was fortunate to get into gold and diversify into international stocks over a year ago which has worked well. So far it has all been ETFs such as Vanguards VSUX (total intl stock), AVDE (Avantis internation eq) and FIVLX (Fidelity International Value).

I'm around 20% US stocks and 20% international with a bunch of treasuries/bonds and gold. Unless there is a sizable drop, I wouldn't increase my US holdings.

Thanks
Rich
