I Felt Like Tiger Woods’ PA This Week
I want to start today’s discussion with a few comments I received from last week’s newsletter, “Putting a Band-aid on a Bullet Hole”. For those of you that have been reading my articles for any length of time, you should be aware by now that I am an ‘equal opportunity political hater’. I am happy […]
Putting a Band-aid on a Bullet Hole
If you can fog a mirror you are certainly aware of the Obamessiah’s grand plan to save jobs in America. If you are so inclined you can read the full 199 page proposal here. For those of you not inclined to read the musings of Barry O and his legal minions, let me summarize his […]
Hi, I’m Bobby and I’m a Playaholic
I want to keep today’s newsletter short and sweet (or at least short). I have a bit of work to do to prepare for the webinar I am hosting later today with my good friend Tres Knippa. I’ve known Tres now since 2005. We both started (and finished in ‘07) a Master’s in Entrepreneurship at […]
The Voice of Anarchy
I had a phone conversation with a friend of mine this week, and he gave me one of the nicest compliments a guy could receive. He called me the voice of anarchy. We were discussing the state of affairs in the world today and the worldwide debt crisis that is causing an economic meltdown; or […]
More Incestuous than a West Virginia Coal Town
A couple of days ago, a very good friend of mine, Greg, emailed me about the recent emails I have been sending out to my readers. Essentially, he said I was screwing up. His complaint was the recent emails promoting the products of other companies and how it was diluting my message. Greg is a […]
Where Turmoil Exists, Opportunity Persists
Last week was tumultuous. Personally I moved to another country, settled in an apartment, then had to unexpectedly move to another apartment temporarily. I have also had no less than 3 offers on apartments fall through because I waited just a little too long. I feel today is the day though. Of course I am […]
The Dead Hedge Fund Manager Bounce
If you read my letter last week, you know I have now escaped from America. Last week we moved to Riga, Latvia. It was a hellish plane ride riddled with delays, running through the airport baggage bouncing behind, barely making connections, and lost luggage. You name it, it went wrong. Now that we are settled […]
Fixing a Syphilis Problem with More Unprotected Sex
I am currently sitting at my desk at 1:20am writing this newsletter. While I am certainly no early bird and frequently work into the evening, it’s a rare occasion for me to be writing at this late hour. But this has been a very interesting week. Over the past week I probably have spent more […]
Armageddon, the Apocalypse or the Rapture?
Unless you have been living in a cave in Siberia for the past week, you are aware of the US congressional deadline to raise the debt ceiling by August 2nd. If you listen to the politicians and the media you would think Armageddon, the Apocalypse or even the Rapture is on the horizon. I’m surprised […]
Expat Hank Bails on America
I had a very interesting conversation with a reader this week. ‘Hank’ is an American citizen living in Ecuador and running a local business exporting raw materials around the world. Hank was very familiar with asset protection and international taxation issues and had previously worked at a law firm assisting international clients with these issues. […]
