>> Is anyone concerned that foreign investment in the USA may well drop considerably depending on how the final results of our election here is perceived? And how that might affect the markets?

Surely that's a rhetorical question, Joel. Anyone with a chunk of change in the market is concerned about... anything that might affect it. But, probably due to the assumption that we will have a President chosen by the time one is needed in January, we've managed to avoid getting caught up in the recent news from Florida. Do you remember the Rules for Playing the Gorilla Game (pg. 181 of tfm)?

Rule 10: Most news has nothing to do with the gorilla game. Learn to ignore it.

>> I am concerned not only of the effect on new money coming in slowing down, but the potential of old money being pulled out until things settle again.

I guess we figure that things will "settle again" in a short time relative to our investment windows.

>> Just a little bit of paranoia creeping in.

A lot of that going around, but it's extremely counterproductive. Maybe you should spend more time in quiet neighborhoods <gg>.
