More Incestuous than a West Virginia Coal Town

Bramwell

A couple of days ago, a very good friend of mine, Greg, emailed me about the recent emails I have been sending out to my readers.  Essentially, he said I was screwing up.  His complaint was the recent emails promoting the products of other companies and how it was diluting my message. Greg is a [...]

Where Turmoil Exists, Opportunity Persists

MOOD-00011348-001

Last week was tumultuous.  Personally I moved to another country, settled in an apartment, then had to unexpectedly move to another apartment temporarily.  I have also had no less than 3 offers on apartments fall through because I waited just a little too long. I feel today is the day though.  Of course I am [...]

The Dead Hedge Fund Manager Bounce

deadcat

If you read my letter last week, you know I have now escaped from America.  Last week we moved to Riga, Latvia.  It was a hellish plane ride riddled with delays, running through the airport baggage bouncing behind, barely making connections, and lost luggage.  You name it, it went wrong. Now that we are settled [...]

Hey Look! A Chicken…

rubberchicken

This week I need to apologize in advance. I am warning you; this article is very disjointed to the point that any high school English teacher would scold me for the lack of flow. Most likely it would earn a solid F on the grading scale. Regardless, I have several things to discuss with you [...]

Wealth Fortress Trust

Fortress - Asset Protection

Strangely enough, it seems that QE2 came and went with very little fanfare. Much like the Y2K fear, it seems to have been overblown in the markets with even treasury bonds showing slight gains. The markets have shrugged off bad economic data and with minor glimpses of hope in the housing sector; everyone seems to [...]

EscapeWealth Launch

This week I am going to keep this exceptionally short and sweet. I have been busy working on a new, but related business venture. We have partnered with EscapeArtist to now run their asset protection portal – EscapeWealth. I am very excited about this project as it allows us to partner with the world’s leading [...]

I’m Not Chicken Little

Last night I was working a bit on the computer on a couple of new projects. I found years ago that running multiple monitors dramatically increases my productivity. I keep various tasks on the monitors eliminating the need to switch back and forth. It really is a time saver. On one of the monitors I [...]

The Black Crow Event

Happy Cinco de Mayo mi amigos!  (Sorry, this was last week’s newsletter).  As you are all most likely aware, today is the day to celebrate drinking beer and eating fish tacos…and oh yeah, the Mexicans defeating France in 1862.  But never mind that nonsense; let’s have another pitcher of Dos Equis. This is how most [...]

Uncle Ben’s Free Gift

While at a social event yesterday with a group of about 40 entrepreneurs, I was bombarded with questions regarding the economy, investing, and ‘geo-arbitrage’. On the topic of ‘geo-arbitrage’, a good friend of mine, Phil, has asked me on several occasions what is the appeal of moving abroad. Over the last 2 years, I spent [...]

The Procrastinator’s Doctrine

Over the past week I have spoken to a few existing and potential clients who still seem reluctant to ‘pull the trigger’ on completing their own asset protection plan. Yesterday, I spoke to a woman who mentioned that she realizes it is something she needs to do, but is struggling with the idea of spending [...]
