  5. Recently I read an interesting booklet by Lance Spicer Entitled "Building your Wealth Today: A Wealth Building Solution". In it he enthusiastically endorses the practice of buying directly into the US share market. He mentions companies such as General Electric, Merck, Intel, Microsoft among others. Yet he does not seem to answer the question of taxation. From my cursory reading of The Personal Investor-A Global Odyssey it looks at the issue of tax and it appears that, as far as I can understand it, investing in overseas shares is not as attractive as is made out, or have I missed something? Your thoughts on the matter of investing directly in the US market would be very much appreciated.
