>>>A 4th factor that is becoming real - a weakening dollar<<<

The same weak dollar that makes our goods less expensive overseas also makes imported goods more expensive. Its like a double edges sword and you never know if you will cut or get cut.
That said it has to help before it hurts and I think there is a time frame there to worry about? I can see your looking at overseas holding as a great hedge.
Can I ask you if you are finding evaluations overseas more reasonable than domestic reits and would the underlying cause be because of higher interest rates in other countries or would it be because of lower growth rates or lower productivity rates....gregor
