Gurus and pundits have long been predicting the collapse of the U.S. dollar, yet the dollar has appreciated against many currencies over the last 18 months, in some cases markedly so. It’s at a 12-year high against the euro, a 6.5-year high against the Colombian peso and the Canadian dollar, and an 8-year high against […]
I don’t try to predict currency exchange rates. I pay attention to them in property markets where I’m active or interested in investing, but I don’t attempt to time property purchases to them except in extraordinary circumstances. Timing a currency investment is different than trying to time a real estate investment according to currency fluctuations. […]
I spent a week in the Dominican Republic earlier this month, scouting property opportunities and hosting our Live and Invest in the Dominican Republic Conference. The DR is one of the most interesting property markets in the world right now. It’s also a dichotomy, offering very different kinds of property investment options. Punta Cana, for […]
Things are bad all over… one might be thinking right now… The world is coming apart at the seams and facing insurmountable challenges, right? What’s the average person to do to cope? I can only tell you what I’m doing. I’m trying to stay my course. My husband Lief and I operate according to

In Paraguay last month, I met with the heads of the biggest cattle ranch operations in that country, groups that manage not only their own ranches but ranches for others, as well. In conversation with one of these groups, I mentioned some of the other agricultural projects I’m invested in, including the mango plantation in […]
Spending last week in Paraguay confirmed at least one thing for me. This country is a land of opportunity. With up to 70% of its population under the age of 30, Paraguay is poised for continued growth over the next decade at least. Paraguay’s GDP has expanded an average of 7% per year for the […]
Last night we drove home through a crowd of Venezuelan protestors making known their complaints with their President Maduro, in Panama City for this week’s Summit of the Americas meetings. This morning, the protestors are gone, but the streets of Panama City are lined with cops. Every center-city corner is occupied by three or more […]
A friend is trying to figure out where to move overseas with his family. He’s a freelance consultant, so all he needs to be in business is an Internet connection. In other words, he could go almost anywhere, which is making it difficult for him to decide what to do. He started by narrowing his […]
