"Effects on the Stability of the Economy. Although the United States may have the largest negative NIIP in the world, it also has the largest economy against which that investment position must be compared when analyzing the NIIP's effect on economic stability. Furthermore, as of 1998, about half of investment included in the NIIP was equity, not debt. Although a substantial buildup of debt decreases the stability of GNP in the same way that leveraging a corporation decreases the stability of its profits, a buildup of equity has the opposite effect. As a result of foreign equity investment in the United States, part of the increase in profits during economic booms and part of the decrease in profits during recessions fall on foreigners rather than Americans, and that tends to moderate swings in the business cycle. " do u know of any site that tells where all this equity money is going? hopefully the foreigners piled their money into dot-coms so US does not have to pay them back.... i would think that most of the foreign money is going to high tech...how to find out? samir
