The more we are exposed to foreign concepts, the more we avoid the hubris issue.

Hello from Puerto Rico with a random question: Have you conducted Real Estate transactions directly or indirectly in any of thse foreign countries?

It encourages foreign investment and exports, which in turn enrich a country. 

now a days I was just at Altanta airport this week I saw a total of ONE pay phone and about the only place I see those now a days is at a port when I am on a cruise ship trip.. or in a internet café were foreigners are calling home.There was no fed ex  had to rely using snail mail... and then they came out with this thing called a fax machine.. but that was OK but the paper was such that the print faded with time.. so you could not really use it for files you would hold a long time.. then there was plain paper fax.. now that was coolthen the scanners came out..

Honestly, getting INTO NASA is hard (especially as a foreigner), but once in, it is pretty "easy"... 

Bryan Adams, Journey, Foreigner all good stuff.

Also If you have to register each company separately as "foreign Company" in each state you do business then the DE series may not help as much as you think.

Not a very welcoming environment around here it seems like....don't worry about all the replies from the Peanut gallery.. just hang in there you will figure out who's who over time.one thing about BP everyone has an opinion.. and on tax matters half the time the CPAs are all arguing amongst there selves.. keep in mind from my cheap seats all the CPA s I have worked with have levels of how aggressive they are comfortable signing off on.I went through this with my Portfolio interest program for foreign investors.. my long time CpA just could not get behind it..

The biggest losers will be foreigners who borrowed in dollars but earn in their local currency to pay back borrowed dollars. 

@Gino Barbaro- Great advice, accounting is definitely a foreign language that should be learned if you want to be successful in large scale business.
