Investing in the Merchant Markets

Investors get scared because of some event that happens. They think, how could this event happen? I didn't anticipate it. This is my mistake for investing in this country. And so many times you don't understand what's really going on and what that means for your companies. So i'm not saying that people shouldn't invest in other countries. But be very aware that your average investor is going to do much worse investing in other countries than the professionals who manage those funds. For the average person, having an investment in riskier countries just adds risk, and doesn't give you returns for it.
