North America...YES, North America...if you haven't figured it out yet I'm invested in a Canadian company right now with NioCorp. And if I had to choose (as per your post) between investing in China or North America (and yes, obviously Canada included) I would choose North America any day.
Also per your other post:
Actually it does. When the number of shareholders and # of shares owned (and by extension value invested in the company) is greater in the US versus Canada, NioCorp had to file paperwork with the SEC. They just did this recently!
Obviously NioCorp is a Canadian company - but it is NOT owned by the Canadian government! Canada is not North Korea/Venezuela/China where if you try to leave they execute you, or appropriate the company's assets (ie. you are free to leave but the company and all it's assets stay - basically theft). NioCorp is free to pick up and leave Canada if they wished for wherever they felt their business interests were better. We live in a free part of the world, not under totalitarian governments.
