I’ve always wanted to get into the fashion turban market. That and ready to wear innocent children and women killing (or beheading) knives. I think they might sell well on ebay.

WTF would you invest in in that turd hole? Rubble?

You invest in it to make a ton of money from a new market. Like they did in China and India.

China isn’t/wasn’t repressive?

they built a middle class and still have the repression.

business, even those Great American ones couldn’t give a @@@@ that they’re supporting the most likely country hand a nuke to our enemies or use one on our allies.

That kind of “Free Market” wasn’t what the founding fathers had in mind.

I REALLY believe that Obama signed the death warrant of millions of americans by making the nuclear deal and maybe down the line more millions by opening up trade with Cuba.

If we’re pals with Cuba, then we can’t say a dam thing when they aim missiles straight at us. I’m sure Putin still likes them.

“You invest in it to make a ton of money from a new market. Like they did in China and India.”

They had governments that wanted to do business with us and us with them. even with the amount of intervention in both places, there was money to be made because there was willingness on both sides. Iranian mullahs will not allow free enough reign to make money. Good luck if you are an investor. And for anyone investing in a country who is playing on the edge with nuclear power and the Russians...well...I guess money makes the world spin until it isn’t.

I can’t argue with you there.

but you and I both know that there are people who see dollar signs despite whatever reality exists.

Iran needs patriotic, Western-educated expats to assist in the transition to a more global economy. As such, they should stop throwing them in prison when they arrive to help out.
