As markets become more globalized and economies become more entwined, it's impossible to ignore the importance of investing in international stocks. Mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded funds have combined to make your international choices simpler, quicker, and in many cases, more efficient.
But for many of you, investing in a passive index fund just isn't enough because you're interested in country-specific stocks. You want to invest in companies on the ground -- not in a basket of companies in a mutual fund. Maybe you want direct exposure to Chinese small caps, Spanish communications, or German banking -- and this is where you'll find it.
In a country-by-country rundown, we're taking a tour across the globe finding out which foreign stocks are traded on major U.S. indexes. We hope it will get your engine going.
