 I suspect that we can expect this list to grow significantly of the next 45 days.  Stocks are way down, and capital is fleeing  the country in near record amounts as investers seek to sock their few profits into accounts outside the country.  The real tip off will be when the MSM starts to sound the drumbeat of stories on evil rich people hiding their dollars...away from the "great and wise Oz Obama" who only wants them to "pay a little more."
