The British Disease in action: Socialism and belligerence not VVV. <THE HALEWOOD CAR plant near Liverpool was once notorious for strife. In the 1970s its bolshie workforce frequently clashed with tetchy managers. > English speaking third worlders can invest in Anglo countries but not so easily in Japan which has lots of money anyway. Even Livedoor in Japan run by Takefumi Horie [a Japanese] got attacked by the old boys network for disrupting the proper course of business. Easier to invest in USA, UK etc. Nice and safe. India is robbing Qualcomm of $1 billion [now]. "Sold" spectrum and now is telling Qualcomm too bad, we got your money, now go away. Investing in barbarian countries is not safe. Unfortunately, all countries are barbarian, though some are less barbaric than others. None have even a Tradable Citizenship, let alone high level VVV to go with it. Mqurice
