LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE TO INVEST?

Sitting on some cash that need to find a long-term home for?  How about looking abroad?  

I'm putting my money where my mouth and I invested in it last week after noticing the disparity in value and dividend return between this ETF and the S&P.  I'm talking about the Vanguard all world except the US ETF.  It's symbol is VEU and it's throwing off a fat 3.37% dividend.  

This ETF invests in big companies abroad from Europe to Asia all for a tiny 0.15% expense ratio.  I sunk a big chunk of my retirement assets into this last week instead of the S&P 500 because I just think it's too expensive.  There are no American companies in this ETF, so it's a great way to also diversify if you only own American stocks. 

Caution: you should never invest in stocks if you can't mentally stand the thought of losing at least 50% of your investment and if you need the money in 5 years or less.  This is an investment for the long-run.  Invest at your own risk.  I was not paid in any manner by Vanguard for this.
