That may be what Abby said but I don;t agree. The reason that US stocks are popular is because the risk of expropriation is nil, there is liberal financing for stock speculation and a well organized structure in place to encourage investment in US securities. Furthermore many large caps in other countries have either minority or majority government controlled stakes, which may prevent them from acting in the best interests of their shareholders. Yes problems sometimes can be ferreted out from intense scrutiny of the financials and supplementary information but this is beyond the grasp of all but the most sophisticated and resourceful investors. That is far from being a fair game in my book. How many people are familiar with pooling of interest accounting and the impact of amortization of intangibles, or how changes in reserve policy impacts on earnings and yet there is such flexibility in these matters.
