Consuelo Mack's WealthTrack: Guest: Mark Yockey, Manager, Artisan International Fund (ARTIX)
FYI: International investing star Mark Yockey joins us in a WEALTHTRACK Exclusive to discuss his global stock picks.
With episodic exceptions, the U.S. has been the place to invest since the global financial crisis. There have been occasional bouts of outperformance by European and emerging markets, specific geographical locals and individual countries but overall, the U.S. markets trajectory has been higher, the U.S. economy stronger and the dollar dominant.
The past year is a case in point. No matter where you looked around the world currencies weakened against the dollar. From the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc to the Indian rupee and the South Korean won, to the British pound and the Euro to the Chilean peso and Brazilian real.
