Pretty much every financial cause I support is global, not local, with most of my charitable giving going here:http://www.gatesfoundation.org/Pages/home.aspxI worked for Bill for a long time, and have tremendous respect for his global outreach, and share his belief that it's about making this a better world for everyone, not just Americans.

Global markets are slowing and earnings per shares for many companies are starting to stagnate.

We see a current trend toward a global economy.If I were to guess without looking at any data, I'd say there's a huge global effect taking place and, that we are only at the tip of the iceberg.

To confirm this, I went on APEC website, the Asian pacific economic conference where the president Ceo is calling unswervingly for a NEW international economic order and is exerting increasing influence on the economic global region.

Globally, this whole Cali deal enters trophy contest...so value add is investor progression almost solemente.

@Vince Lawrence - Welcome to the vibrant BP community.My theory is that if you have a compelling deal that buyers will die for, then, I guarantee that you will have more buyers than you can handle.From this rock star deal, you will be able to build your buyers list comfortably without expending too much energy to search for them.The bottom line is that if you bring a great deal to the table, it sells itself.Good luck with your REI activities. 

Local banks/credit unions don't have the same requirements but they do have a global debt service requirement.
