Hi GV, RE: "Since 1994 or so, this capital flow has increased. I don't have numbers off hand, sorry, so I'll need to stay qualitative." ----------------- I asked someone about this, and as it turns out, he had actually written a book on the topic related to foreign capital into the USA. I discovered this when I asked him how much foreign capital is in the system and what is the delta from norm. I didn't quite catch his reply, but I think he said the US system is an open system which makes it difficult to exactly measure the amount. However, he conveyed money was still flowing into the system from certain countries (in q1, I believe), though, the potential for this to reverse exists and is a concern. He said his book outlined the concerns of this, which at the time of the publication many years ago, apparently were not considered issues like they are today. It sounded like his book was a bit ahead of its time. It is really amazing to ask someone a question and find out they've actually written a book on the topic. Next time I talk with him, I might ask a few more questions about this area. Regards, Amy J
