The 134-year-old Chicago Stock Exchange reached a deal on Friday to be acquired by a Chinese-led group of investors.

The purchase by Chongqing Casin Enterprise Group is the latest U.S. investment made by China and would give the country a foothold in the vast American stock market.
Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.

Lead... That's the stuff Flint lined their plumbing, drinking glasses, and crystals of sugar with, right?
