An investor who wants the most return with the lowest risk will have a balanced portfolio across many asset classes, which would include both the Dow stocks and India and China in some fashion. That being said, the Dow companies already get a significant % of their earnings abroad. And this % is increasing.

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with the original author. Warren's logic is circular and seems to be preying on people's inability to conceive of very large numbers. I'd fully expect DJIA to continue growing at roughly the same pace this century as the last.
Even if it doesn't, though, everyone knows that the trick to successful investment is to buy low and sell high. There are still plenty of opportunities to buy low - even with limited risk - in large emerging economies. The U.S. may become a low-risk capital preservation stock and China will become the higher-risk investment stock.
