Marc, I would tend to agree with you on that. If the U.S. market went into a protracted bear market, or even just a stagnant, "going nowhere" market, you can be sure that the European and major Asian markets would follow suit. In that scenario, the only advantage to having some international exposure would be (IMO) if you were in some hot little third world market that was going nuts. On a side note, has everyone seen the results of Montgomery Securities' investor poll where they asked mutual fund investors what their expectations were for their mutual fund performance? The average investor polled said that he/she expected their funds to provide a 37% annual return going forward. Is that scary or what? Gary
