Jim, if you yourself invest in the things you mentioned, questions:

1. Do you use a British broker? If so, which one?

2. Don't you have to pay income taxes in England? What does it cost to have a British CPA prepare the return? (I researched the issue, I believe that one would get some type of credit against US taxes, but not sure whether Alternative Minimum Tax kicks in, etc.)

3. Many say that coping with currency fluctuations is too much trouble, do you agree?

I have a book on global investing, by Thomas Saler, that is helpful but steers the reader toward ADRs and funds that trade on US exchanges.

Jim, London is the only other place where I would buy a fund. Still, you just can't get the good info out of them. But they have some CEF bargains. Thanks for telling me about Atlantis, though the name makes me kind of antsy. <G>
