Diversification is key. Diversification ensures that when there are big swings and big hits in the U.S. market, a portfolio has some balance to it. For safety, look for markets that don't react the same way at the same time as your domesitc market does, and that should be offshore. The other main reason to invest offshore is opportunity. Opportunities abound in places like China, the Middle East, Africa and other third world nations that are shedding their third world status.

Behavioral finance attempts to find factors beyond greed that motivate investors and so explain the irrational underpinnings of many market anomalies. humans can and do behave in very illogical ways. It is this occasional lack of logic in human thought processes that makes dealing with workers, customers and the competition so dynamic.

It is Adam Starchild's 25 years of writing on financial matters that can help you behave logically in the investment world, and protect yourself from the illogical behavior of others. The Consevative Wealthbuilder moves well beyond his discussions of techniques, into logical coverage of a broad range of investment thoughts. No wonder he has developed such a strong following amongst conservative trust companies and other financial institutions.

I find wisdom, humor, and so much intelligence here. I pass this book on to my husband and children so that they may gain from reading it.

The simple fact is that the sun always shines somewhere. When times are tough at home, there is some country where investment opportunity is best!
