Maybe you're rich enough to buy foreign stocks on the stock market, but most people aren't.

So, you are telling me no retirement fund, pension, employer or anyone you know is smart enough to buy shares of Toyota or Brisish Petroleum? You must live around pretty stupid people. And I guess you can't even spare $500 bucks to do so yourself, guess you have no retirement planned? Wow, what a sad life you lead, pickin cotton down on the plantation.
