Bloomberg is link only.
Come on Intel,don't let me down now. I've always bought your chips because you've manufactured in my home state of Massholechusetts,but if your going to go to China I may as well buy AMD !!!
Great. More American jobs shipped to slave labor markets.
Amazing figures.
Yeah, amazing figures. So why can't I get excited about em ???
A few years ago I was an admin. assistant for an Investor Relations VP at a Fortune 500 company. He was really big into investing in China, even back then.
He would pay huge $$$$ to subscribe to these "special" investment newsletters, but the author of one of the newsletters forgot to crop off the ticker symbol on one of the charts one time. I tracked that stock to a 1,600%+ increase over an 18-month period. Did I ever buy any? Of course not. LOL. That's how it always is.
I distinctly remember another "talking head" touting PeopleSoft when it was like $3 or $4 a share and it got back up around $30 or $40. This was long after the NASDAQ crash of 2000 too.
Abercrombie & Fitch was another one. It got really cheap (like a few bucks / share) in early 2000 or so, right before the NASDAQ tanked big time. Then it climbed back up around $40-$50.
There's always ways to "win," but I tend to do too much sitting on the sidelines.
Free Trade.... Yeah that is real good for American Jobs....
Me too. If your old enough, remember a stock call Polariod ??? Back in the 1950's you could buy shares of this stock for peanuts and they multiplied and multiplied for a number of years afterward,and I had a chance to buy em cheap and sell high,but did I do it? hell no !!!
What this means is that the largest share of the plants assembling the circuit boards housing the chips are in China. Most of these circuit boards end up in final products bound for end markets in the developed countries.
You can thank The Democratic Party policy of OUTFORCING jobs for this one...
Over-Taxation, Over-Unionization, Inane Enviro Regs, and UNLIMITED CIVIL LIABILITY have made it nearly impossible for anything manufactured in America to compete globally...
Add in the explosion of the STANDARDIZED SHIPPING CONTAINER, and you have a recipe for Disaster.
Frito-Lay is doing the same thing.
That's great. Let's invest in a country that commits some of the most outrageous human rights violations in the world.
Their workforce will be imploding anyway - they are killing all their girls.
Pretty soon they won't even have enough children to slave away making this stuff.
Yeah, but how many billions have Europe and Japan spent to build cars in the US of A?
Take quite a while to dwindle down from 1.3 Billion.
Are you suggesting that our Fritos could soon be coming from Mexico??? Aye, yaye, yaye, yaye.
I really do not know. I would be willing to be not nearly as much as we are sending to China and India.
"Take quite a while to dwindle down from 1.3 Billion."
it is an aging population and they are killing their girls.
The first batch of "little emperors" - male single children are about to reach adulthood.
It doesn't have to dwindle down from 1.3 billion - it ages, it shrinks, and then they find they have a mass of aggressive young men who don't have mates.
It will get interesting.
They are absolute fools
