“For countries that cannot turn to their own people for capital for political reasons, they have to turn to foreign capital that does not complain as loudly,” he said.

Whoa, what does this mean? I am no expert here by any means, but this really sounds like a slam of the American Individual Investor. Does not complain as loudly?

SWF's really make me nervous and uncomfortable. I am really starting to think the best place for my money is my mattress. Especially if more countries opt to utilize SWF's to "manage/monopolize/control" markets.

Time for this little pawn to leave the chess board I think. At this rate I have no idea who/what country/terrorist group is funding or defunding or utilizing my pittance for their benefit.

War by merger and acquisition.

Interesting times.

There is a catch:

If the corporations SWF’s bailed out still do badly, then their asymmetric warfare backfires. Then SWF’s will join those who need to be bailed out. It is quite possible.
