oh no, one more person who isn't fond of us, threatening not to visit or profit by owning shares of american companies.
Not threatening, just not. As for the investments, not shares anyway, other types of equity, in the end there are better profits to be had elsewhere anyway. Not to mention they're all technically based in the Caymen islands et al. Amuses me the concept of these mighty 'american' companies, they pay no tax, manufacture (and are slowly moving R&D etc) overseas and yet there is this wierd patriotic fetish about them.The thing is, I'm not alone, I know more and more people that want nothing to do with US companies, the US government or want to go to the US, from over here more and more it just has trouble written all over it.
