Yes, if you trade stocks on the NYSE or the NASDAQ that are from foreign countries it does allow you to benefit from those counties. These are called ADR?s which basically just means you can <a href="http://www.stocks-simplified.com/How-to-Buy-Foreign-Stocks.html">buy foreign stocks</a> with dollars and in the U.S. exchange. The reason you have seen that they seem to be affected by the U.S. market is because we live in a pretty small world. A country as massive as the U.S. has a big affect on other countries around the world and other countries have an effect on the U.S. market. In general stocks will tend to follow a similar path no matter what country they are from. However there are always exceptions, the Japanese market has been in a bears market for over 20 years, even in 2006 when in the U.S. it seemed like any stock you bought doubled in a matter of months. So, if the U.S. tanks or stays flat there can still be other opportunities in other markets, you just have to find a market that is not tanking with the U.S. Here are a few pages that list different ETFs in emerging markets. They can help you invest into other markets, or just get a feel on how other markets are doing in general. <a href="http://www.stocks-simplified.com/China-ETF.html">China</a> <a href="http://www.stocks-simplified.com/India-etf.html">India</a> <a href="http://www.stocks-simplified.com/Brazil-ETF.html">Brazil</a>
