Foreign-owned assembly and manufacturing plantsclose to the US-Mexico border are called maquiladoras. You should be aware that this term does not apply to all "foreign companies".

For example, a chocolate-making plant hardly qualifies as a maquiladora. On the other hand, a TV assembly plant in Tijuana or Juarez IS a maquiladora; while an assembly plant deeper inside Mexico, in Aguascalientes, for example, is not.

How mutual funds work?

When you buy a share in a mutual fund, you're actually buying very small partial shares in many different companies. Many times, you're buying shares in multiple industries. For instance, you might buy a share in a mutual fund called "Growth Fund X". This fund may own shares in McDonald's, Blockbuster, Foreign oil companies, communication companies in Europe, Nike, and the Canadian Utilities. The point is, if foreign oil isn't doing well, Nike and the communication companies still are. If Nike starts falling, foreign oil might be picking back up. So your potential loss or potential gain is not hinged on one stock, but typically hundreds.
