Baby Thomas James Delehanty arrived into the world in 1963 Arizona. A couple months later, having been adopted, he became John Edward Portmann. In 2019, he decided to research his family tree. Although he had long known he was adopted, he was shocked when the DNA test he took revealed his ancestry to be 100% [...]
The men in my life drink whisky. Lately they’ve been talking a lot about how it’s produced and what makes one bottle better than another. Dinner table conversations are given over to the history of the production of Scotch whisky, in particular. Fortunately, it’s a good story. It all started in 1494, when Friar John [...]
Last week as shots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. came within an inch of all-out chaos. Then came the CrowdStrike computer crash which grounded flights and downed systems in hospitals, emergency services, banks, governments, schools, and more around the world. Now, Biden has declared himself out of the running in the presidential race [...]
I don’t need to remind you of the challenges of our age. Cable news in the United States has got that beat covered. Most importantly, I believe in finding opportunities and organizing your life to enjoy what the world offers. Sometimes, you may need to make some changes to do so. So, my job is [...]
Smell that? It’s the ashes of last week’s dumpster fire of a debate still smoldering… and that stench won’t clear easy. In between all the mumbling, bumbling, and name-calling, came the squabbling over inflation, immigration, abortion, and the big stuff too, like the candidates’ prowess on the golf course and elsewhere… If a tornado hit [...]
There’s a lot of things about 2020 many of us would like to forget. The pandemic takes the top spot… but Trump v. Biden comes a close second. And now here we are again with the rerun most nobody wanted. Maybe you have no horse in this race, but chances are, you do. And while [...]
Why should you be looking beyond the United States for opportunity? I probably don’t need to go into all the problems America is facing these days. Unsustainable debt. Useless politicians. Everybody angry at everybody else. I started looking overseas for investment opportunities more than 30 years ago. I did it because I wanted new adventures, [...]
How should one hold property overseas? That’s a regular question at conferences… especially my International Property Summit event each year. The best option depends on the person, the property, and the country where the property is located… and even what funds you’re using for the investment. Use IRA funds and, generally speaking, you should set [...]
When Benjmain Franklin wrote, “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” few could argue his position. Today, however, it’s a different story and alas it’s not taxes that are in doubt but rather one’s own existence… or lack thereof. You see Mr Franklin lived and died long before [...]
“You need to get on a plane.” That was the feedback Kathleen Peddicord got from her property scout when she sent him to Panama for the first time in 1998. Back then, real estate in Panama was a screaming bargain. You could buy big, well-built homes for as little as $20,000. Kathleen did indeed get on a plane and [...]
