i was doing a search on some companies and learned that these "american" companies aren't really american at all.
my thoughts to explore a little further led me to the GM site and upon further investigation learned that a share in GM stocks in part leads to a share in TOYOTA because GM and TOYOTA are in bed with each other.
i know this discussion has been hashed out before, but i was interested in what products we consider to be american, but really are multinational.
i also tried a search for saudi investments in the us, because my dipshat friend said that if we froze their assets they would be hurting...i argued it would be us who would be hurting because of the amount of the investments. how many people on this site have had similar thoughts about buying american only to find that the steel came from eastern europe, or the american company is actually owned (in share) by a german or japanese company? just pondering bordom...lol.
