There have always been masses of wealth created in different pockets of the American economy (auto, tech, .com, e-commerce, oil, etc).

But recognize that only about 1 in 100 Americans are eligible for them.

Hi all,I'm a newbie out-of-country investor (American living in Singapore).

., has done relatively little to garner confidence from the American people.

American Bungalow is my favorite by far... my wife and I often agree on design, and she's been accused of having a 'man's taste in design'... meaning that she's very well happy with large oak posts and heavy woodwork on fireplace mantles.

The agendas of Rupert Murdock and other media moguls are always trying to distract the American people from the ugly truth of what is really going on in the real world outside of U.S. borders.

The American dream is evolving and the private sector is pushing governments outside of their comfort zones.

And they call this the “American Dream”. 5: At age 70 1/2 they make you start withdrawing your 401K balance so the government can collect income taxes on ur money before you pass away. 6: The real winners in the 401K system are WallStreet and the Government.

And if you don't think that it matters, take a look at what happened to those that placed their IRA funds with American Pension Services, an administrator.Then there are fees, which is how these firms make their money.

In particular, there are numerous plants in other parts of the world that may want to license clean American coal technology, or perhaps source clean American for their power plants.In my opinion, it would take something like a resurgence of coal in order for me to consider investing in an area where there is a dominant industry like coal mining.In order for me to invest, there has to be population growth, and jobs growth.
