Was speaking about you tonight. Thinking about AG too and stats that are way out dated and skewed. His job stinks as it is worse than blind mans bluff he cannot feel his way around though i am sure he tries. Seems gold is positive money wise though it is negative for us as a nation.

Foreign Investors Turning Cautious on Spending in U.S.
By LOUIS UCHITELLE

Foreign investors, who once joined with confident Americans in a wave of spectacular acquisitions and business spending that helped power the 1990's economic boom, are now turning cautious about the United States economy. That is compounding the current weakness and making it harder to achieve a robust recovery from last year's recession.

With fresh acquisitions almost nil, foreign direct investment in the United States — the technical name for acquiring a company or establishing one — plummeted last year to $124 billion and started out this year at an even slower pace, the Commerce Department reports. That is down from a peak of $301 billion in 2000.
