Anyone Buy Foreign Dividend Stocks in IRA?

[rayray]

There are plenty of foreign investments within countries that have U.S treaties to deflect handing over a percentage of your investment dollars. There are also agreements/programs that some companies use that benefit certain shareholders. So, the answer for me, would be a no, unless I was already invested and the said rules above changed then I would have to exit that would benefit me and my family.

Also, with a foreign tax exemption in regular brokerage accounts, why give up dollars when you can have that same investment and keep more for yourself, if you're a U.S. citizen/tax payer.
