more Avery B. Goodman is licensed attorney and has concentrated on securities law related cases. He holds a B.A. from Emory University, where he concentrated on history and economics. He also holds a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California at Los Angeles Law School and is a member of the Bar, licensed to practice law in several jurisdictions.
He serves on the roster of neutral arbitrators of the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). His career has consisted not only of prosecuting cases on behalf of clients, but also in sitting in judgment on the cases involving others, and making important decisions on intraindustry and customer disputes.
As an independent investor, Mr. Goodman has observed that markets are being subjected to frighteningly high, and still rising, levels of disinformation. Investors desperately need an impartial voice of logic, reason and common sense to guide them. For that reason, he is now sharing thoughts with the community.

"So why do the English-speaking countries have persistent CA deficits? I suspect it has something to do with the fact that English-speaking places are an attractive location for immigration and investment. Immigrants to Australia who take out a mortgage and buy a house are contributing to their current account deficit. Chinese buyers who invest in homes in LA or Vancouver tend to create deficits for the US and Canada." I'm not sure if you just didn't communicate the point you were trying to make very well, or if you don't know what you are talking about. Your reasoning makes no sense. If a rich Chinese wants to buy a house in Vancouver, he must convert Hong Kong dollars or Chinese yuan to Canadian dollars. Similarly, to buy Canadian stocks, the foreign investor must also convert his own currency to CA dollars. In both instances, the current account deficit for Canada DECREASES. It most certainly does not increase.
