Evaluating Investments - Question 14

I've heard a lot about the attractive returns from overseas investing, but it sounds risky. Cm I benefit from overseas investing by buying stock in blue chip American companies?

Yes. Foreign sales represent approximately an average of 41% of total sales for the thirty companies comprising the Dow Jones Industrial Average (shown below).
The percentage of sales from international sources ranges from a low of 2% for Bethlehem Steel to 79% for Exxon.

The source for these figures is each company’s Investor Relations, Media or Public Relations Department and their annual reports. These figures represent the most recent data available as of April 1, 1995.
