You will take a hit on that note - take example of Libya, Egypt, unrest going on now causing a hit on Crude Oil prices. Then, there is currency risks - investments overseas has the implicit risk of forex charges and forex exchange rate risk. Even if your investments are going good outside, your net return might become low because of exchange rate changes
