Let the Saudis dump their stock and pull their money, maybe they can take it back to SA and invest it in camel droppings and sand piles.
The threat is empty. They can't get out of a down market because it would cost them too much. They don't want it in their own country because having it there would encourage their minions to revolt and the royals would lose it all. They can't pull it out of the US and put it anywhere else because there is nothing with that kind of value into which they can invest. They are smarting already because the price of oil is down. This is meaningless sabre rattling. They will count on the billions they have invested in US judges to start paying dividends if this suit ever actually gets started.

Right on!

They pull out fast, it gives us Joe Schmoes a buying opportunity for some of their good investments.

It will also sink some of their unwise investments (that I never considered investing in) like AOL, Citicorp, etc.

Fools and their money are some party, as my Daddy always said.

Money invested in U.S. judges by the Saudis? I wonder if that judge down in Marco Island, Florida was one such judge.
