With my four-year experience in assessing companies along with the informal education that I got from numerous books that I have studied and a little bit of a certification course in New York Institute of Finance, I decided that I am ready to escalate my investment strategy into the U.S. and other foreign equities.
I started purchasing shares in the U.S. and other countries this January 2015.
As of the moment, I have holdings in the U.S, Russia, China, South Africa, Argentina, Australia, and the Philippines. Although this may sound impressive, I already have not followed Warren Buffett’s advice of limiting the amount of company purchases.
Warren Buffett: "I could improve your ultimate financial welfare by giving you a ticket with only twenty slots in it so that you had twenty punches - representing all the investments that you got to make in a lifetime. And once you'd punched through the card, you couldn't make any more investments at all” (Kennon, n.d.).
Cutting it short, here are my top three holdings in each country.
US holdings:
Ralph Lauren Corp Class A
Michael Kors Holdings Ltd
Computer Programs and Systems Inc
Australia holding:
BHP Billiton Ltd ADR

Philippine holdings:
Manila Electric Company
Filinvest Development Corporation
China Banking Corporation
Russia holdings:
Tatneft ADR
Sberbank Of Russia ADR
Gazprom ADR
Greece Holding:
Piraeus Bank SA ADR
