It makes sense since just about everything you look at is Made in China, or Made in Korea, Made in India, etc. However, my question is how does one go about researching international companies and trying to figure out which ones to invest in? Do you just look at american companies in certain sectors that you would invest in and then try to find their international counterpart??

For me, Investing is not only Diversified, But Global, Nimble, and Liquid.
For my research, I have used Schwab to check and then invest in certain things. I know some people do not like Mutual Funds, but I own Templeton and Oppenheimer Global funds. Their long term returns have done pretty well for me.
Also I do take small risks with Global High Dividend payers, but with only a small amount of money.
But I believe that part of Diversification is being Global..What percentage is a personal choice.
I believe that the US is the biggest player on the block, but that does not prevent me from buying outside the US.
Let us see what Greg and others have to say..
