From my experience, there are so many regulations for investing in the United States that they become an impediment, a barrier to investing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many U.S. investors are already investing overseas rather than at home.
There's a tendency to look at investments in isolation. Investors focus on the risk of individual securities.
We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.
Our criteria is that it's okay to invest in companies so long as they stop lobbying in Washington, stop exploring for new hydrocarbons, and sit down with every one else to plan to keep 80 percent of the reserves in the ground.
Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.
Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.
We make a series of investments, some will pan out and some won't.
As much as it's sometimes hard to make choices about where you invest, it's equally hard to make choices about where you don't invest and what you eliminate.
Personally, I have invested in around ten U.S. companies and will continue to do so. That doesn't give me a strong experience in the American market. But I have an understanding of the public.
I still happen to think the United States is the greatest place in the world to invest.
