Skeet, I am never going to let your view of reality change my worldview, that's true. I don't care if the reincarnations of Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises and Frederich Hayek appeared to me personally and told me I was wrong, unless they were able to convince me using rational argument, and even so I'd like to call up the reincarnations of a few other eminent economists and let them debate it face to face and hash out their differences, if possible. ___________________________ Investing in other countries makes good economic sense, but only for those who see economic advantage. I'd never suggest doing it for its own sake. Jay Chen can tell you how much sense it makes to people living in Taiwan to invest in companies on mainland China. Intel is building chip plants in India. Investing isn't "giving" money - it's spending it, with the hope of future return.
