I think what you are asking is way beyond the scope of anything you will get from this web site.  You need all sorts of market research and tax accountant advice I can't see you getting that here.

Your mistake is basic: you're presuming that the oil in the ground belongs to America.  It doesn't.  It belongs to ExxonMobil, BP, etc.  Think they'd want to lower profits to benefit us?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why would it?  Security at US ports remains the responsibility of the US Coast Guard and US Customs and Border Protection.\n\nThe company previously running those ports is a British company.  DPW bought out the British company and the rights to the ports along with it.  Why does it matter where the profits go to?\n\nThey aren't in charge of security.  Repeat. They aren't in charge of security.

I don't think they want to become part of the US.  I wish they would allow Americans an opportunity to buy property down there.  I would.  Corporations would too though.

"To be sure, the trend toward international mergers carries with it some costs and risks.  One of them is, in fact, the danger of lost jobs as corporate titans eliminate duplicate departments.\n\nFurthermore, investors are at risk in a couple of ways. One, disclosure laws and accounting standards aren't always as rigorous in other countries as they are in the United States. That can make it tough for investors to assess whether it's a good deal.\n\nFinally, because most of the mergers are being financed by stock, investors have a stake in the combined entity's success. Yet, every merger is full of risks, and cross-cultural differences amplify the potential pitfalls, Wynne said.  For instance, Germans get far more vacation time than their American counterparts. American workforces are generally more diverse than those of other countries. And managers may face constant suspicion that one country is getting jobs and investment capital at the expense of the other."

As all of them, Yahoo, Microsoft/MSN, Google, etc expressed at congressional hearing, when they operate in a country, they abide by the law of that country.  Yes, your interpretation is correct, the almighty dollar wins.\n\nNeither of the above companies will pull out as is the case with you, having too much biz tied to pull out.  Disgusted as one may be, the almighty dollar trumps again.

Yes it is.\nIt is obvious that Americans cannot differentiate between a transnational and a multinational company and it is obviously seen that they also confuse a transnational comp. with international ones which means it is high time they all learned prefixes......... Otherwise in 5 years time there will be NO AMERICA

Smart point!  The calamity will be in the usa.  I delivered UN supplies to africa for several years and we DO not want it here.  Angelina's bleeding heart will cost us. Gun Manufactures start extra shifts and open 24 hour gun shopsFor every one of "them" that survive , you will see the US Government relocating them - and guess where to?  You will have generations of heatherns,  thieves, rapists, violent tribe-ists running the inner cities of america.

Yes, we are being killed by free trade.  What happened to "made in America"?  If we keep this up, there will be no jobs for Americans.  I would gladly pay more for a product that is Made in America.

Worst possible senerio would be the default of the Treasure and the collapse of the US and then the World Economies. What needs to happen is for the USA to stop spending increases and raise taxes. Tarriffs on imports would also help the American economy by making the price of imports higher relative to domestic products. The Unions are not helping situations either. I agree that the objective for all workers is to make as much money as you can, but to insist that you make so much money that you bankrupt the company is stupid. If the company does not make money , then neither do the employees in the long run. It is very dangerous for the United States to run a trade deficit, especially with a country like China.

It's a myth... a merge is more likely with Mexico but never with Canada.  They wouldn't allow it.

Without more specifics, it could be a statutory consolidation as well.\n\nBut it sounds as though he is refering to a horizontal merger.
