Hey pal…
you could maybe invest through Exchange traded Funds(ETFs) that are listed in US stock exchanges. That would be a great start since investing in another country requires a lot of insight on whats happening in that country. So, out of investing in an ETF, you get some initial idea before you take the plunge. Again, if you are looking at investing directly, are you looking at any country in specific? Then again you have these country focussed funds.. If you want to invest in multiple countries, and your portfolio allocation for a country is small, then it is wiser to go the ETF way, since maintaining them may be an issue.
