If their prices rise too high, they will lose the manufacturing jobs they gained.

And if the manufacturing capability is there and not here, how exactly will they lose the jobs?

Do you feel the same way about foreigners who invest in the US instead of their own country? Are they enriching the US and degrading the opportunity of their fellow countrymen?

I don't feel anything about it, but I think they should invest in their own country. And their investment in the US is not good fro the US. Yes, they are enriching themselves at the expense of fellow countrymen, and doing America no good.

What will the situation be, I wonder, when a critical mass of this country is owned by foreign powers.

The same way you claim we are losing the jobs.

So, let me see if I understand your point. If an American invests abroad it's bad for America but good for the foreign country? If a foreigner invests in America it's bad for his own country and bad for America?

I'm curious what you think that critical % would be? What do you think the current % would be?

The well being of the US is important. Please tell if you think I have harmed the US. In Sept. 2003 I gave $11,300 to a bunch of Brazilians for part of a Brazilian cell phone company (Tele Centro Oeste Celular Part. SA). Two months later I sold it back to them for $13,700. I got to keep $1,800 to spend on American goods and the rest went to pay for federal taxes to bring down the national debt.

If you think this is bad for the US please tell me how. I just bought some more stock in the same company and the price is already soaring --I need to know if you think I should sell it now before the price goes any higher. Keep in mind that every time I do this I make the trade deficit worsen, as the only way Brazilians can get these dollars to give me is by selling their products cheaper and cheaper.
