I couldn't agree more! If everyone would invest in companies that are American born-and continue to be manufactured and distributed-in the good ole' USA, our country wouldn't be in the trouble we are in. We are letting other countries take our jobs just to pay a few cents more for something. It's also nice to see an article that is upbeat rather than only looking down.

Fine and Dandy- If you can afford expensive stock with no diversification, little to no dividends.....then remember that much of the profits for these companies come from other countries Not here..break down these companies into pieces/ingrediants Then see how much is truly American and not imported...just like the auto industry!

i am looking forward to buyin a home outside of the usa if my small business is successful.........carribean / new zealand / paris / and brazil are being considered / i figure i can wqrite checxks to any business or charity from anywhere in the world / why live in the usa

where do u get off calling it as american as fireworks when most states wont allow fireworks anymore. fuck our government and their fucked up laws.

Rob, I can tell you why Americans "choose" to live in the USA these days - IGNORANCE. Gross, total, sheer ignorance of how bad they have it there. I pity you fools.

Have either of you, Rob and Master Shake, ever visited any of those glorious countries you would prefer to live in rather than America? That there are countless thousands in any other country on earth ready to would trade living places with you in a New York minute is an indisputable fact. I sincerely hope you get your wish, Bon Voyage.

No thanks, I would rather buy super low and make a dollar times 3000 then sell sell sell. Tech stocks and pharmaceuticals are a great source of gold. Sitting on eggs and hoping they hatch is okay if you are a hen. I'll take my stuffed omlet to go thank you.

Can't beat the staples, that's for sure.
