    Yes and those overseas people are quick to sell and let the price slump when they face a scare in their home country. Much more than year's dividend can be lost that way.

    if overseas people are investing in gentailers for income they are more likely to bail when interest rates go up dont you think?

    You are thinking rationally and there are times when markets are not rational. I have often observed US investors in particular selling overseas shares for no other reason than that they want to bring money back to the US which they see as a safer haven. Don't forget that what to us is significant, to those institutions is a peanut diversification.

    I hate to say it but maybe this time is different? look how many scares there have been over the yrs esp end of last yr when markets were tanking but the gentailers barely blinked. With the US just about to start another easing cycle im thinking people wont be so easy to scare out of there income streams cause at the end of the day where else you goona go for income. it wont be the bank like the old days?
