Foreigners buy $414 billion of USA in 2007
It says in the newspaper today that foreign investors are buying aggressively, taking advantage of American duress and weak dollar to snap up what many see as bargains. Last year, foreign investors poured a record $414 billion into securing stakes in American companies. factories and other properties though private deals and purchases of publicly traded stock, according to Thomson Financial, a reseach firm. That was up 90 percent from the previous year and more than double the average for the past decade[that is a big jump and a bad sign].
During the first two weeks of this year, foreign businesses agreed to invest another $22.6 billion for stakes in American companies, more than half the value of all announced deals. If a recession now unfolds and the dollar drops further , the pace could accelerate, economics say.
Well history seem to be repeating, Manhattan was bought from the Indians for $26 dollars worth of beads which seem like a bunch of money to them. The people who are buying away at America as like all the convenient stores and restaurants and whatever other kind of money-making businesses then they just have to wait for the check to come in the mail every months from oil revenues, so money isn't really a problem to them as like to the native American now who is so strapped financially due to how weak our dollar has became. Hell it take almost 4 of our dollars now to buy one gallon of gas and about 10 of our dollars just to get to the other side of town and back.
Just like the Indians then we native Americans now are losing the country to the highest bidders for it. We all whose family has been in America for many generations are really the Indians of today, we have been interbred so much that we no longer look like the Indians of the old days. When the Europeans first started coming over then it was all men who hop the ships and came over here to settle, women rarely came because the ship voyage was to perilous, rough and dangerous. Once the Europeans got over here then they would give the Indian men a bottle of whiskey and make him act crazy and then shoot him claiming self-defense and then take his wife and make family with them. Nearly all of us who been in America for many generations have Indian grandmas all up and down our family trees. But again we are losing the country to foreigners. We are trying to stop illegal immigration but are doing nothing but sucking up to all the foreigners who are buying America instead of just trying to settle here.
Oh well what goes around come around and here it is all coming around again.
