The money in your IRA is an important vehicle for you to live well during your retirement. It is a means for you to effectively save enough money so that you don't have to keep working and you don't have to live poorly past your retirement age.
This means, therefore, that the money in your IRA is highly important. It is essential that you grow the money as fast and as much as you can. In addition, you must ensure that you minimize the risks involved with IRA investing, because any losses to your IRA money will lead to lesser funds later when you have already retired.
Foreign investments are thus significant to the diversification of your IRA portfolio. You should choose a foreign market that has little to no correlation to the US market so that if ever the US market is suffering, your foreign investments will still prosper.
