<<There are better places to get rich than the US>> ... examples from the past - honest to goodness real estate returns in Hong Kong - super leveraged property wins in Japan - even after fees and expenses etc - had one desired local currency denominated wins of outrageous sums, Zimbabwe Platinum - had one wished to support anti-terror coalition, Hub Power of Pakistan - getting rich on China beauty led to Modern Beauty of Hong Kong etc - or just keep buying gold and hold tight to platinum :0) In a manner of speaking, all the gains were propelled by USA leveraging itself up and selling itself out, but without having to deal with the tribulations of empire's unreasonable demands

Those outsize profits have since retreated to more moderate levels, cooling the fever for the stocks of producers such as Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. and snarling some initial public offerings. -Dow Jones Newswires
