  9. First off thank you for your videos they are very informative and helpful. My question is when the Fed drops interest rates doesn’t this have a major impact on foreign investment in the economy? And from a monetary standpoint which is better having foreign investor loss faith in the economy or stop investing or having nationals being able to spend more? I hope my questions make sense thank you in advance
