Synopsis
For savvy investors eager to profit from the international market, two seasoned professionals provide authoritative information on finding the winners -- from the Microsoft of Germany to the Home Depot of France.
Global investing now comprises 5 percent of stock market trading. Dozens of foreign stocks routinely out-perform the S&P 500. But how do you know which ones to choose? This comprehensive guide -- the first book devoted entirely to blue-chip stocks around the world -- highlights the best opportunities for creating a portfolio of stable, high-earning investments.
In this essential handbook, the Kalbs identify 100 top-notch overseas stocks and provide a detailed description of each. Their profiles offer invaluable "grading boxes" that rate growth, management quality, and risk factors, as well as background information on the company and summaries of the stock's performance. All of the stocks can be easily tracked by the ordinary investor. Because of the Kalbs' rigorous selection process and their focus on long-term, blue-chip investments, the information in this book will remain accurate for at least two to three years.
