MAGPIE,
Too right! In the words I often quote from the President of the US Senate years ago during a budget stoush: 'A billion here, and a billion there, and pretty soon it adds up to REAL MONEY!'
CAPITAL GROUP has over a TRILLION US$ under management: that's 1,000,000,000,000 (or 10^12 for the scientifically minded..). REAL MONEY in anybody's reckoning (even the US Fed's!).
