hi, this might be a dumb question, but i searched around and didnt find anything too obvious that answered it.
I live in the US probably like most people on this forum, but im interested in being able to invest internationally, but existing ETFs and whatnot arent really enough for me. I _could_ find mutual fund managers in other countries and do it the manual way, but what i would really prefer is retail access to foreign exchanges, or some way to at least buy the index. I don't know if the rest of you noticed how great the rest of the world's markets are doing, but I would like to get in on some of it.
any thoughts/brokers/wisdom would be appreciated.
As a side note, i tend to believe in market efficiency, BUT market efficiency in practice is a little different, like all those illiquid foreign markets that don't have traders on them, primary due to LACK OF ACCESS. I know if everyone's broker on here started offering trading on those exchanges, who wouldnt have been tempted to buy the UAE index, and make 116% - on their index! or south korea for 53%.
Anyway, any thoughts appreciated.
