Without a weakening U.S. dollar to give you a currency-profit cushion, it's been a very bumpy ride. Indeed, over the past year it has been wise to stay out of foreign stocks, which fell faster and further than U.S. stocks. Foreign stocks may still be trying for investors but as the Fed focuses on keeping U.S. interest rates down, the wind is clearly shifting as the dollar once again begins to tumble. That gives investors in Asia and other emerging markets an advantage. A weakening U.S. dollar against emerging market currencies fueled the extra profit that investing in the Asian markets and their natural resources suppliers (Australia, Brazil, Russia and Canada) enjoyed from 2002-2007. But a strengthening dollar took Asian stocks and funds off investors' menu for the past couple of years. It's time to dig in again. If you are not invested in foreign stocks now, I can’t blame you.
