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 [...]

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 [...]

American Debt Crisis - Asset Protection

I am currently sitting at my desk at 1:20am writing this newsletter.  While I am certainly no early bird and frequently work into the evening, it’s a rare occasion for me to be writing at this late hour.  But this has been a very interesting week. Over the past week I probably have spent more [...]

Armageddon, the Apocalypse or the Rapture?

Apocalypse - Protect your Assets

Unless you have been living in a cave in Siberia for the past week, you are aware of the US congressional deadline to raise the debt ceiling by August 2nd. If you listen to the politicians and the media you would think Armageddon, the Apocalypse or even the Rapture is on the horizon. I’m surprised [...]

Expat Hank Bails on America

Americans Screwed - Asset Protection Planning

I had a very interesting conversation with a reader this week. ‘Hank’ is an American citizen living in Ecuador and running a local business exporting raw materials around the world. Hank was very familiar with asset protection and international taxation issues and had previously worked at a law firm assisting international clients with these issues. [...]

Hey Look! A Chicken…

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 [...]

Homeless and Happy

The past week has been a roller coaster. I failed to produce my weekly newsletter due to some other things that took precedence over hammering out my weekly drivel. Last week the biggest distraction was preparing for the sale of my house and moving. The buyers looked at the house, and 2 days later made [...]
