Janus Overseas: 'Top of the heap'
2009-08-12 06:00:00 "When it comes to large-growth foreign funds, Janus Overseas (JAOSX) stands at the top of the heap, outperforming its peers by a factor of four," says Ian Wyatt in The Recovery Portfolio."Since reopening to new investors in December 2008, the fund has gained 56% year-to-date in 2009. That's eighteen percentage points more than the MSCI EAFE index, a measure of developed foreign markets. "And its also well ahead of the 14% average return of foreign, large-cap growth funds, according to Morningstar.

2008-10-06 18:51:00 People overseas like shopping in the US right now, and people in the US like selling to people overseas; it all has to do with the "weak dollar," which I think has something to do with the bailout and a moose being shot from a helicopter -- I have trouble keeping up with politics sometimes.Anyway, the problem with all that international commerce is international shipping; lots of companies don't ship across the Atlantic or the Pacific.One company that DOES ship overseas is Shipito.com Through their unique mail forwarding system, they can allow you, the lucky shipper or shippee, to send your stuff (or receive your stuff) across the ocean. All you do is register, and then order your stuff. They'll receive your package at their US-based address, and will then ship it on to you.Sure, easy, simple, but how much does it cost? That's the great part -- it's $8.50 per package, up to 30 pounds. You can buy a lot of stuff and not have it weigh 30 pounds.Get a lot of packages? They'l...

The Machine Overseas?
2008-07-25 16:25:00 The free agents currently available seem to all be interested in Europe now. Sasha Vujacic is threatening to go to Europe if he doesn't get about $5 million a year. Pretty soon we might as well take every guy on the market and ask if they want to go to Europe (Josh Smith next?).I hope LA will keep Sasha, he's a young, pesky defender and his jump shot is dynamite. It gives LA great depth when you can bring Sasha and Jordan Farmar off the bench. LA already lost Ronny Turiaf to the Warriors, the young core of LA's future is at risk. The future would be Farmar or Vujacic starting, throwing the ball to Bynum down low.No one has made him an offer, I think if it's not LA, it's Europe. Euro, or weak dollar, Mr. Machine?
Mixed Summer Weather For Korea's Overseas Stars
2008-07-17 06:10:00 Football is non-stop these days. No sooner did the European club season finish then the European championships started for 16 nations. Now just days after Spain lifted the continental trophy most clubs have started pre-season training and talk in the big leagues is who will go where before the new season gets underway. What about South Korea?s overseas contingent? Well, it is a summer of uncertainty for many though that certainly can?t be said for perennial golden boy Park Ji-sung. Slight knee troubles apart, the 27 year-old is set for a good season in Manchester. It is only two months since the attacker collected a second English Premier League medal and less than that since the club lifted the European Champions League trophy.It was a successful season for Park and next season, providing he steers clear of injury could be even better. This time last year he was recovering from major knee surgery and still five months away from a return to action and the fact that United coach Sir ...

More Overseas Students Coming to the US
2008-07-05 15:32:00 As we all know only too well, the U.S. dollar has been losing its value. But there is a bit of a silver lining to this painful situation. As the dollar plunges, the cost of college for many foreign students also drops, bringing many overseas students to our shores. With American universities widely considered the best in the world, our universities have suddenly emerged as a bargain for a growing number of international students. The influx is expected to reverse the declines in foreign student enrollment that followed September 11, 2001.

Jews Versus Overseas Chinese
2008-05-25 13:33:00 Uncle Milton comments on a previous post of mine, An Apologetics For Zionism, that dealt peripherally with the overseas Chinese. I will deal with his comments at the end of the article:Robert Lindsay: There are differences between Jews and Overseas Chinese. The Overseas Chinese tend to keep their heads down, keep out of politics, and are not endlessly meddling in the cultural and political affairs of the nation - they just focus on making money. Jews focus on making money too, but they can't seem to help trying to change society, a habit that arouses mountains of anti-Semitism.Uncle Milton: I would say this is incorrect. Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister of Thailand (and one of the richest if not the richest men in Thailand) was deposed by a military coup is ethnically Chinese.There were also many ethnic Chinese who were very close to Suharto and received special favors and privileges from the Indonesian government.The Chinese in Indonesia, however, have had to play a b...

Britons seek employment overseas
2008-05-20 02:00:00 The number of Britons who chose to emigrate abroad between 1997 and 2006 has been described as "probably the greatest period of emigration we've ever seen". Jill Rutter, senior migration office at the Institute for Public Policy Research, told the Telegraph that this is partly due to the relatively new trend of retirees emigrating to countries. However, she said it is also due to the "more internationalised labour market and workforce", which has made it easier for people to work abroad for a period. A NatWest report on expatriates showed that of the 200,000 who left the country in 2006, two-thirds went to live abroad with four in ten of those professionals or managers. The Conservative Party has claimed that the statistics reflect how many Britons are becoming disgruntled with high taxes and crime rates to the extent that many are leaving their home country. The Office for National Statistics will release figures showing that 1.97 million Britons left...

UAE recommended to overseas investors
2008-05-08 02:00:00 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been flagged up as a good location for overseas property buyers to consider. According to ShelterOffshore.com, the Asian country currently offers a number of attractions for foreign investors. For example, the website highlighted the recent increase in visitor numbers, as well as the revenues generated by its tourism industry. In addition, the country's economy was said to have a strong economy which is experiencing a sustainable rate of growth.

The online portal added that the country's real estate is currently "thriving", despite ongoing financial problems across the world, such as the credit crunch. This was largely attributed to the fact that these issues have put investors from the UAE off i...

Laptop Rentals Can Help Assure Data Security When Travelling Overseas on Bu
2008-05-07 17:47:00 A recent court decision from Los Angeles' Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals should give business travellers pause to consider whether they would not be well advised to pick up a laptop rental before travelling overseas on business and returning their computer rental when they get back from doing business overseas. The Court's ruling that United States Customs and Border Patrol agents have unfettered power to search laptops in airports - including opening every file on the hard drive - should give business travellers returning to the U.S. from overseas (including even Canada and Mexico) pause to consider whether they wish to have sensitive or proprietary business files on their every workaday laptop opened and subjected to scrutiny by relative strangers.Not to be alarmist, but the information on business files - whether in respect to information that needs to be shielded from competitors or strategic information about possible mergers or acquisitions - is always prone to "seepage" i...

Credit crunch 'boosts overseas property'
2008-05-02 02:00:00 The ongoing credit crisis is prompting some people to take the plunge and invest in a foreign property, an expert has said. According to Paul Collins of the BuyAssociation website, foreign property ownership is becoming more and more popular in the UK. This was partially attributed to economic issues such as the slowdown in the British housing market, as this has prompted some investors to seek potential opportunities overseas. He added that the credit crunch is also having an effect, as many are losing confidence in the amount of money they have in their UK property. Mr Collins commented: "When things start to show signs of taking a downturn it can actually steel people into making a decision." This comes after Exchange Bond predicted that the number of foreign properties owned by British and Irish nationals will increase by at least eight per cent this year.
