American trade policies and the high moral grounds that they have claimed and stood for years are beginning to sound very Ostentatious! you may interpret it that way! but on the other hand, it may also be the state of affairs in the World’s largest economy. And considering the vested interest that most countries like India and China have (because of foreign deposits) it may be in our good that their economy recovers fast and fast enough!

America sometimes today reminds me of the biblical figure Samson who as history has it, took more people down with him than he destroyed during his lifetime!

Why all of a sudden america is concerned about China / Burma / Tibet / Srilanka / Afganisthan / Pakistan all in one go? Why is this not sending our External security affairs team into a war footing effort? Russia which has by far the most sophisticated defence mechanism itself has been skeptic of the missile shield that America is talkign about in Europe! Is not something similar happening now in the Asian sub continent, and nothing is being done to counter this iminent threat that we have from America!

I read this article recently, the lowering of dollar valuation has been in a way a disguise for the americans cause it has narrowed their trade deficit! That makes some sense to me now.

Just imagine you have 2 currencies that you control, One the dollar that is good in the short term and another you have huge reserves of Oil that is invariable the long term check point (in the 20 term period)

Your foreign policy is governed by overseas Oil needs. What do you do? I dont know how many of you remember what Anil Ambani did after he came from Wharton… He went on to buy Reliance Shares from the market which were performing badly! It had a phenomenal rebound effect.

We have reasons to believe that Investments by American companies in overseas markets has nearly zoomed 1200% in the last 3 years!

(In a getting a bit jittery already! , will continue this article in sometime from now)
