Jim Cramer, in a New York magazine article on Feb 10 recommends a diverse portfolio of international stocks to hedge against the possibility that Bush's policies will wreak havoc onthe US markets.

"Bush’s policies are now loathed to the point that I have to recommend the unthinkable: You’ve got to diversify into other countries, perhaps as much as 20 percent, and you must do it now, before the damage this president’s doing to our stocks accelerates."

"Doesn’t Castro have to die eventually? When he does, look for this once-sleepy Canadian bank to dominate what will be a great growth market. In the past five years it has invested more than any other bank, as a percentage of assets, in the Caribbean and Central America. For many Latin Americans who are just discovering credit cards and mortgages, BNS is the only bank in town."

"...Total, the French oil company that is the Foreign Legion of oil companies—willing to go anywhere to find oil, including Russia, Iraq, Iran, and Venezuela. Here’s an oil outfit that isn’t tainted by a U.S. legacy and therefore has been able to get rights and favorable concessions from nations on the Bush Bad List. It’s got a better-than-3-percent yield, and with today’s oil prices, it’s coining money."

"Brazil-based CVRD may be the greatest natural-resources company you’ve never heard of—unless you are a huge buyer of nickel or iron ore. The Chinese need all sorts of minerals to keep their growth humming, and CVRD is the Whole Foods of raw materials. It’s also a great hedge against inflation, something that we’ve begun to generate with Bush’s reckless spending."
