Investing Daily Printable PDF I believe that all investors should have a portion of their portfolio allocated to investments outside of the U.S. Although the U.S. stock market is the world’s largest, overseas markets regularly outperform U.S. markets.

Stocks have continued to rally since the November 2020 election and they hover at record highs. Of course, to justify further significant stock price appreciation this year, we’ll need to see strong corporate earnings grow...
