Is the US now a dangerous place to invest?

posted on May 07, 2009 04:57AM

I am thinking lately that with all that is going on in the US that it is becoming one of the more dangerous places to invest now.

The Chrysler deal has the senior debt holders being walked over by the US government and their contracts nullified. If they can do it to them they can do it to anyone. Without the confidence that a contract is enforcible then why would anyone have confidence to invest.

Coupling that with the huge projected deficits and continued government interference in the free markets I see the US as increasingly risky.
