Successful investors must identify hidden investment opportunities in foreign stock markets. That means going beyond traditional tools like ADR's and emerging market funds to find truly spectacular investing opportunities for the long run.

Hi Turley,
Great article!
I am an MBA student at Griffith University currently analyzing Apple’s iPhone strategy.
Would you consider that a market penetration strategy would have been advantageous for Apple to enter the cell phone market given the economies of scale and low switching costs associated with the cell phone market?

Great analysis on Apple. I agree that more earnings surprises are on the way. How long do you think that their earnings growth and increasing margins will hold up?
