The New York Times - U.S. Stocks Became Expensive. Are Other Countries Better Bets?

October 12, 2018 - The New York Times quotes Nick Kaiser as manager of the Sextant International Fund in the article “U.S. Stocks Became Expensive. Are Other Countries Better Bets?”

The New York Times asked Saturna Capital’s Nick Kaiser where he finds opportunities given high domestic stock valuations and the risk of the US bull market’s end.

“'There are more opportunities in foreign markets than domestic,' Mr. Kaiser said. 'As long as the money is put to work in stocks when they trade at low valuations,' he said, and not bonds, which are far more susceptible to inflation.”
