New Investing Horizons

Now seems like an opportune time to look again at potential investments outside the American exchanges.

So much for writing about IPOs for a while…

The current administration’s on-again/off-again relationship with tariffs couldn’t have seized up financial markets more than if they tried (maybe they did?). As a result, it will likely be a while until we see an IPO or a merger worth a peek

(sorry, but I’m not sure the parent company of sentimentrader.com is worth considering).

I have been interested in international markets for a couple of years now. I’ve made some investments outside the U.S. for a myriad of reasons, principally that there are quality companies not traded on the American exchanges that are likely trading for steep discounts to American assimiles.

With so much market mayhem and with political actors around the globe seemingly intent on rewriting the global trade playbook, now seems like an apt time to revisit a market screening criterion I used a couple of years ago to see what it digs up.

I’m about to share the results from a stock screen I created using Koyfin. It is one of the many functions I find myself using daily on the Koyfin platform. It also allows me to create watchlists to track many portfolios, review a decade of financials, or compare companies on various metrics. Unleash the power of Koyfin’s platform and transform your research process by signing up for Koyfin here and receiving 10% off.

Disclaimer: I have an affiliate partnership with Koyfin and receive compensation if you sign up via the link above. It helps me fund this endeavor. I would still recommend using it even if I didn’t have this partnership because it’s an awesome product, but I’d be stupid to turn down a revenue opportunity. You get a discount, Koyfin gets new business, and I get a commission. Win-win-win)
