John, << I am not sure they will put money into US bonds vs their own for less than 2 or 3 %. They may feel their patriotic duty and be more comfy with the cash at home. At 3+% there is a greater chance. Part of the reason our mkt fell so hard the past 2 weeks had to be influenced by their belief there was a greater chance of increases in their mkt and pulled boat loads from the US in a short time frame...>> Good point. With a falling dollar a foreign investor must consider currency exchange losses as well. Thanks for your thoughts. Darrell
