00:00:00.000 | If you're a U.S. citizen, if you're in the United States, you live in the most dynamic
00:00:04.640 | economy in the world, the best possible place to be an investor.
00:00:08.920 | And if you're investing in the S&P 500 or the total stock market index, by definition
00:00:14.280 | those largest companies are international businesses.
00:00:18.780 | So you have international exposure, but you have it at the least possible cost and you
00:00:26.100 | have it in the country that has the best regulations around investments.
00:00:32.640 | So your investments are as clear as they can be, whereas in some international markets
00:00:38.760 | they're a little more opaque.
00:00:40.960 | So for that reason, I don't see the need to be in international funds.
