The Black Crow Event
Happy Cinco de Mayo mi amigos! (Sorry, this was last week’s newsletter). As you are all most likely aware, today is the day to celebrate drinking beer and eating fish tacos…and oh yeah, the Mexicans defeating France in 1862. But never mind that nonsense; let’s have another pitcher of Dos Equis. This is how most […]
Uncle Ben’s Free Gift
While at a social event yesterday with a group of about 40 entrepreneurs, I was bombarded with questions regarding the economy, investing, and ‘geo-arbitrage’. On the topic of ‘geo-arbitrage’, a good friend of mine, Phil, has asked me on several occasions what is the appeal of moving abroad. Over the last 2 years, I spent […]

Asset Protection for the Real Estate Investor
Since January 25th, I have had a nearly uncontrollable urge to write about the one hour sitcom I watched that same night at around 9 pm EST. This was one of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time. Of course I am talking about Barry O’s State of the Destruction Address. On […]
I’m Rich, Sue Me
I am writing this newsletter on a KLM flight from Europe back to the US. Over the past few days I have been attending an investment conference in Zurich.
