A few days ago, I mentioned that when one country or region is suffering a downtrend in their markets, another country's markets could be thriving. As it has been pointed out, SEG allows investors to diversify their holdings into other regions of the world. To better illustrate that this is a wise strategy that investors should consider following, I dug in and went looking for information that would support this statement.

Here is a list I found which provides the closing values for the previous month for 40 countries. It allows for a comparison of year-to-date performances for all the world's major stock markets in dollars.

Please excuse the formatting - it took me a long time to try to format this table so that it was at least readable.
