I have heard this thinking years before. --back when Fidel Castro was looking like he was going to croak.

My understanding is, the investment holdup is not the lack of American dollars, but rather (lack of) confidence in Cuba.

In other words, the rest of the world has plenty of money to invest in Cuba... But, if the regime in Cuba makes that investment stability questionable, then it does not happen.
