The latest data shows that foreign investors in the United States sold a total of $94.3 billion in U.S. company stocks in March, the largest outflow since at least January 1978, when the U.S. Treasury Department began recording the data. It was a $25.4 billion sell-off of U.S. stocks in February. 3.7 times the size! However, in the medium to long term, U.S. stocks still have great potential.
