Vivian Lewis is editor and founder of Global-Investing.com, the daily blog newsletter for Americans and others seeking to internationalize their portfolios. She brings unique experience and competences to the business of picking foreign stocks. After graduating from Harvard magna cum laude (and being elected to Phi Beta Kappa), Vivian lived 18 years in Europe where she worked as a financial journalist.

Back in the U.S. in 1989, she decided that retail investors managing their own portfolios deserved the kind of information she had been digging up for mutual fund and pension fund managers. So she started Global Investing, now 19 years old. It began with the rise of the American Depositary Receipt market, where now some 2,500 shares can be bought. We also cover Canadian stocks (which are not ADRs).

Nine years ago, she started GlobalInvestingPro, which has now been incorporated into the main global investing newsletter, mainly because the number of unsponsored ADRs has grown rapidly since late 2008.

Apart from ADRs, Global Investing also covers yield instruments like yankee bonds and foreign preferred stocks. And for start-up global investors, we recommend closed-end and exchange-traded funds which invest outside the U.S. Fund offer instant diversification at lower cost than individual stocks. But with discount brokerages on the Internet, you can built an global portfolio with as little as $25,000 to start with.

Vivian brings to her readers her familiarity with foreign markets, a full rolodex of contacts garnered during 18 years of living abroad, and the ability to speak a half-dozen languages.

I love your commentary along with your updates on your portfolio."

"I would emphasize your long term record, stress how investing internationally is becoming much more important, and mention that other similar letters are much more expensive (not by name, but by cost comparisons). For example, Louis Navellier has a global investing newsletter that retails for $5,000 a year (cheapest is $2,500 on sale). It is a weekly trading letter that changes 3 or 4 of the stocks each week off a list of about 20-30. I think your letter is better suited to most investors and fills a need that is not addressed, except by inferior or too costly competitors. Your experience and contacts are also rare."
