Keep in mind that whenever you invest in international stocks or funds, you bring currency exchange rates into play as well. You could gain 25% in your stock only to see it disappear if the countries currency drops against the dollar. There is an old saying: "When the US sneezes, the world catches a cold". Be cautious with overseas investments.
