Damien, foreign markets are not good diversification and does not lower risk if you feel a correction or bear market is a possibility.

Most foreign indices are on a bubble also (I don't remember the exact number but I think the Mexican Bolsa has doubled our performance since 1990). They will follow the bellweather US market whatever way it goes. A correction would probably also cause a Bond sell-off. Cash, Real Estate, platinum and palladium, even gold (which I'm told is bottoming not to far from it's production costs) would be better diversification, and would lower risk.

regards,
Bob

Think about diversifying offshore. The returns may not be as good short-term, but it's a no-brainer for reducing the risk of your portfolio!
