“Total foreign ownership of U.S. assets (excluding complicated financial derivatives) rose from $16.594 trillion at the beginning of 2009 to a record $26.791 trillion at the end the first quarter of 2014.  That’s an astounding 61 percent gain in a short five years, a record for such a short time period.  It’s a total of more than 10 TRILLION DOLLARS that has flowed into U.S. investments from abroad.  Of that $10 trillion … $4.088 trillion, or more than 40 percent, was directly invested in portfolios that include equity investments, mutual funds, and other equity-related investments.  Moreover, nearly 20 percent of the $4.088 trillion … or $820 billion, came flooding in from foreign shores in 2013 alone.”
