Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
you're fed up with your international stocks — and wonder why you own them at all— it's understandable. But long-term investors will likely want to be patient and at least allocate a portion to the asset class.
I confess that I did not read the article. My foreign stuff lives only within PRIDX, now--- except for any tiny, fractional holdings in my other funds. Morningstar X-Ray shows me where I want to be with international stuff: Down to 7% of my portfolio total. I continue to hold PRIDX because it is CLOSED to new investors. It fell hard during the swoon at the end of last year. This year is a different story, DESPITE uncle Donald and uncle Kim Jong Fartface and Brexit and an election in Canada on Oct 21st, coming up. And the Israeli election, the Russians, Hong Kong, Egypt and on and on. "With a cast of THOUSANDS." https://www.morningstar.com/funds/xnas/pridx/quote
