foreign investors have in general been getting a better rate of return on their investments in the US vs. europe or japan... This reminds me of that famous line Will Rogers came up with in the early 1930s when approached by a stock promoter. After the promoter made an offer that Rogers could refuse, he quipped, "you know, I'm not so much worried about the return on my capital as the return of my capital." Are you: 1) Insane? 2) Stupid? 3) Not very well informed? 4) A tonto utile? 5) Pulling my leg? Look I don't want to be hostile here, but when one of the leading bankers in the U.S. Senate has moved all of his liquid assets out of the U.S. and into Canada, you have to admit that things are dire. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R. IL) made this move 15 months ago, and due to the appreciation of the Loonie he has netted a quick 25% profit based on his insider knowledge of how the Bushies are debasing the currency. You're a joke if you want us to believe that "foreign investors have in general been getting a better rate of return on their investments in the US". Foreign investors have been getting their head's handed to them on a platter. They've been getting murdered by the weak dollar. Murdered by the stock market crash. Murdered by the frauds on Wall Street. Lordie, get me out of this insane asylum! Foreigners are now expecting that Wall Street is going to ask them if they want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge! And you know what? Mayor Bloomberg and the boys down at Morgan, Stanley and Bear, Stearns are working on a swindle of the public to make this possible.
