The World Climate Summit ended Saturday with a general agreement among 195 countries for a plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The goal is to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius. Maybe the agreed reductions in emissions will allow the world to meet that target. Maybe they won’t. No one can […]
The window to take action in Colombia is right now… for two reasons: First, current exchange rates have pushed down property prices in Colombia to levels not seen for many years. Not surprisingly, real estate sales to Americans are at an all-time high. The U.S. dollar continues its rampage against the Colombian peso. How much […]
Tomorrow we’re publishing the first issue of my newest advisory service, Global Property Advisor (GPA). I’ve written and edited many global property investment services. This is the best. First, because it reflects my now more than 20 years of experience. Second, because it is being launched at the start of the current Golden Age of […]
Dozens of jurisdictions offer offshore corporations, LLCs, trusts, and foundations, but every offshore attorney has his go-to choices. My Belize attorney prefers St. Lucia because a St. Lucia structure can help to mitigate tax liability when doing business in Belize. One U.S. attorney I know works mostly with Belize entities; another likes Nevis. How should […]
A friend who recently took his first plunge into non-U.S. real estate investing told some of his friends about the opportunity he was buying into. What he’s buying into is an agricultural project in Panama that I’ve been telling you about for the past 20 months. I should have prepared the guy for the reaction […]

I’d say precious metals are not as much an investment as a hedge against inflation… and the price of gold may be more manipulated than Russian politics. The volume of gold traded on paper exceeds the total physical gold […]
How are you going to be able to afford the retirement you’ve been dreaming about? Maybe you should defer the idea… keep working for five or six or more years longer… until you’ve been able to set a little more aside… Nah, that’s not the answer. As I explained to the crowd assembled in Orlando […]
Among the benefits of living an international lifestyle are the arbitrage opportunities you come across. I was reminded of this a couple of weeks ago when we visited with old friends in Waterford, Ireland. Living in Ireland years ago, we found that good-quality antiques were available for bargain prices compared with prices in the States. […]
Panama is, indeed, the Hub of the Americas, and, living in Panama City, you’d think that traveling around Latin America would be easy and cheap. Easy, yes… cheap, not so much. Copa flies to most major cities in Central and South America and continues to expand its destinations in the United States, the Caribbean, and […]
As Mark Twain might have put it, the death of the U.S. dollar has been exaggerated. Or at least prematurely prognosticated. Dollar doom pundits continue to point out all the negative things going on in the United States—stifling debt, exploding credit, polarized political arena, fundamentally unsound fundamentals. And, as a result, they continue to predict […]
