A nice intro to the world of International Investing

If we look at America and our own clouded financial future as a nation with problems such as, the dollar falling in value, mounting national debt, a disappearing manufacturing base and the continued worsening of the mortgage industry then looking for direct investments in foreign stock markets maybe the best way to diversify your portfolio and protect your wealth. "The World Is Your Oyster" by Jeff Opdyke is a nice clear introductory guide to the world of international investing. If you are looking for a get rich quick guide then this is not your book. The author introduces nothing dramatically new in the field of investing but what Mr.Opdyke does well is to break down his on personal experiences in finding international investment opportunities that the average investor will understand and learn from. His book consisted of 7 chapters and they take you through the nuts and bolts of setting up foreign brokerage accounts to trade on foreign stock exchanges, considering currency fluctuations when investing overseas and how to do your homework when searching for great stocks overseas. One of the most interesting chapters in the book explores the growth of China. But to be honest one chapter does not do the subject matter justice to fully express the potential growth and the complexities of this awakening giant. All in all, Mr. Opdyke does a good job at introducing the investor who has very little exposures to foreign markets. To the experienced international investor you many not learn anything new but this book is not targeted at this audience "The World Is Your Oyster," has taken away some of the mystery of direct foreign investing and I will be definitely looking at investment opportunities overseas very soon.
