I don't know what this is really about but CNBC is running a show on Africa tonight at 8 pm.

Title: Dollars and Danger in Africa.

In case it is worth watching.

It's about investing in emerging markets if I recall.

If it's on CNBC, you can bet it will be CRAP!

I could not agree more. Besides with current economic conditions who's got extra money to invest anyway?

Gentlemen,

You would be suprised how much BIG money is being invested in Africa.

And how many American and European companies and people are working there, not to mention the Chinease.

The Chinese will own key parts of Africa in the very near future. Our government does not know how to invest, we give it away without credit or reparation.

Sorry Dall, the issue is not knowing how to invest. The issue is that the Chinese will deal with anyone and NOT talk to them about, freedom, democracy and human rights. Having said that, you are correct about Chinese influence in Africa.

Well, I found it interesting. Some of the interviews were a bit contrived and slanted but still interesting.
I do recall that while in Bullawayo The only merchandise that seemed to be in abundance was the junk from China. The same junk our stores are all carrying and trying to shove down our throats.
Anyway, I found it interesting.
