Yes I am. Non at this moment but everything I hold makes money in the U.S and elsewhere. I’ll be looking to pick up some shares of DEO once I have the money and it’s at an attractive price

Jake,
I agree with you that these are well known companies around the world. However, most people only look at companies that they can actually see building while driving to work

If you are American, I would be curious to know how many non-American based companies do you have in your portfolio.

I don’t like mutual funds but that’s just me. You wouldn’t feel comfortable investing in American companies like Coke and Procter and Gamble? I’m sure these products are just as prevalent in Canada as they are the U.S. They also have worldwide exposure to hedge against a fluctuating dollar

I agree now a days diversifying doesn’t mean just investing in home based sectors, you need to diversify globally to take advantage of tops & bottoms through out the markets.. there are many global Mutual funds available, for me especially the ones investing in commodity are more lucrative….
