The Voice of Anarchy

Anarchy - Asset Protection

I had a phone conversation with a friend of mine this week, and he gave me one of the nicest compliments a guy could receive. He called me the voice of anarchy.  We were discussing the state of affairs in the world today and the worldwide debt crisis that is causing an economic meltdown; or [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
