The mindset of management for US based and foreign companies are also completely different. US based management is usually more concerned with daily price fluctuations in their stock than foreign company management. US managers understand they are constantly under pressure from investors to get better results and increase the stock price whereas foreign managers have a much longer timeline for increased shareholder value. US managers think in weeks and months and foreign managers think in terms of years and decades. So if you are not a long term investor don’t even think of investing in any foreign deals. Foreign management’s attitude is “if you are not in it for the long run you shouldn’t have bought the stock in the first place”.
