"G-OiL-D - I presume Meridian's point is that Americans as a whole are not well traveled outside the US and have a somewhat myoptic view of it, geopolitically and especially concerning overseas financial opportunities. JMHO"
That's what a lot of foreigner's think of Americans. It is a pretty myopic, stereotypical view. I guess those who think that way are so near-sighted that they haven't figured out that the people who do all the investing in US are the same ones that have passports and that we travel all the time all over the globe. Been anywhere lately and not seen American tourists? Maybe one day those foreigners will come to the US and figure out what we are all about.
