I fly tonight from Panama to Paris… then, Monday morning, on to Lisbon in time to host next week’s Live And Invest In Portugal Conference. Repositioning from the New World to the Old reminds me that Americans often dismiss Europe for offshore lifestyle and investment options thinking the region is too complicated or too expensive. […]
Russia has finally, officially invaded Ukraine. What does this mean for those of us not in the direct line of fire? The euro has dropped a few points. The Moscow stock market fell almost 50%. Oil prices broke through US$100 a barrel. Gold is up. Cryptos are down. Those are the immediate, short-term market responses. […]
My wife and publisher Kathleen Peddicord and her Live and Invest Overseas group rate Panama as the “Best Retirement Haven in Latin America.’ I have to confess… I don’t care.

I want you to conduct a little test for me… This Thursday, when you’re sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner with your family, tell them you are considering a visit to Colombia. If you’re feeling feisty, tell them you’re going to Medellín… I bet you a bottle of rum that their shocked response will have something […]

Usually, they’re newer investors who haven’t seen the stock market or whatever type of investing it is that they focus on do what all types of investments do […]
